Cyclr is a rapidly growing company that provides low code embedded integrations for other SaaS businesses globally.

We are seeking talented individuals to join our growing Connector Development team. The role suits an individual that is technically minded and able to read technical documentation, as a large part of the challenge is understanding a vendor's documentation translating this to build a connector to the API. 

Overview 

Our Connector Library is one of our most valuable assets: it needs constant organising, refinement, and perfection. 

Connectors enable our users to integrate different applications with our drag and drop interface. The connector creation process requires taking existing connectivity and standardising it within our connector creation suite.
