Lead
About the role
You will join Cisco's Webex Signaling team as a backend software engineer focused on distributed systems, reliability, and scale. You'll design and implement cloud-native microservices, emphasize DevOps, and apply AI-assisted development tools across the lifecycle, collaborating with globally distributed teams. The role emphasizes ownership, strong fundamentals, and curiosity about AI-enabled practices while delivering high-quality software at scale.
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.
