Head of Channels Alliances - France Benelux Switzerland South Europe

About us

At Cycloid, we aim to promote efficient infrastructure & software delivery alongside digital sobriety. We do this by optimizing platform engineering, alleviating the cognitive load on IT teams, and advocating for Green IT and FinOps practices. Our mission is to enable a future where technology and sustainability can coexist harmoniously, leaving a lasting positive legacy.

Platform teams design, build, and run the platform, enabling end-users to visualize and deploy existing and new projects, interact with cutting-edge DevOps and Cloud automation without the need to become an expert, while keeping best practices in place, cloud expenses under control, and maintaining a minimum carbon footprint.

Cycloid, a sustainable engineering platform, provides a frictionless self-service portal with modules around self-service, orchestration, infrastructure and resource management, FinOps, and GreenOps.

At Cycloid, we're an open organization meaning that your voice and point of view will have a true impact on how we work and the decisions we make. So as you can imagine, we're looking for someone who is keen on sharing their ideas and opinions.
