Circles Tech Stack

SaaS platform enabling telco operators to launch digital brands and transform into tech companies

Software Development Singapore, Singapore 501–1,000 employees Privately Held

Circles builds a SaaS platform for telecom operators to spin up digital-first brands, operating at scale across 14 countries with customers including KDDI, Etisalat, AT&T, and Telkomsel. The company runs dual revenue streams—a SaaS licensing model plus two owned brands (Circles.Life in Singapore, Jetpac for travel eSIM)—which explains the broad hiring profile: engineering and product teams scaling the platform, while marketing and sales drive go-to-market for both operator partnerships and consumer brands. Active projects around MENA expansion and new brand launches indicate aggressive geographic and product-line growth, though cost efficiency appears on the pain-point list, suggesting margin pressure as they scale internationally.
