About the role

Who We Are

At DevCycle we believe that no engineering team should have to fear a deployment, and that safely and simply managing the rollout of new features and services with feature flags should be as natural a part of a team’s process as committing to source control. We are a small team with big ambitions, and we do our best to always make sure that we’re working on the right thing at the right time - through transparency, collaboration and empathy. We build tooling and products based on what we need to do our best work. We challenge ourselves to pursue and push the bleeding edge of what’s possible, maximizing efficiency, speed, cost and value.
