About the role

Cyclops is seeking a Senior Software Engineer with a backend focus to own the technical direction and production behavior of critical services. You will work on a backend-first stack with occasional UI work, shaping solutions in a fast-paced product environment. You will design APIs, model data in PostgreSQL, and take ownership from requirements to production. Strong emphasis on reliability, observability, and cross-team collaboration with Product and Engineering Managers.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
