Job description

eMeet the Team

Outshift by Cisco is the emerging tech incubation group that explores, identifies, and creates new businesses for Cisco. We are passionate about being at the cutting edge of technology, taking Cisco into new markets and building exciting products that solve tomorrow’s biggest challenges.

Like a startup, we take an entrepreneurial approach to success. We incubate ideas into products that solve critical needs, then deliver an experience that delights users and customers from MVP to full-blown commercial offering.

Outshift is about innovation. We look from 12 months out to five years into the future, flexibly working to solve problems instead of fitting into a defined job description. We celebrate learning, and expect our teams to fail fast, challenging assumptions and finding new ways of solving problems.

Outshifters enjoy gaining experience across a breadth of technological and business challenges and can expect to shift across products / problems and build new skills regularly.

We’re building the next wave of startup-like innovation with the support of a trusted name like Cisco. Where else will you get to do this? Come create with us.

We’re looking for a Software Engineering Technical Leader that enjoys wearing many hats : a technical leader able to rally internal partners to execute on a deadline, at your best when mentoring and guiding team members, as well as a self-starter that’s willing to jump headfirst into the codebase and start creating or improving it immediately.

In this role, you can expect to work with engineering, design, product, marketing, in defining and executing our products plans & open source initiatives.

  • Strong experience building modern, cloud-based software.
  • Demonstrated senior-level expertise in at least one modern programming language such as Go, Python, JavaScript (), Java, C#, C++, or Rust.
  • Proficiency in additional modern languages (e.g. Python or Go) demonstrating versatility and language independence.
  • Quick to learn, adaptable, and curious—comfortable working across different technologies, tools, and problem areas.

Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience working with cloud vendors like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
  • Familiar with technologies like Kubernetes, containers, APIs, or microservices.
  • Experience in any of these areas is a plus : cybersecurity, machine learning, generative AI, observability, or networking.
