What they're looking for
- Define architecture and best practices for the platform and infrastructure layer the product is built on
- Own the deploy pipeline and lead the move to a GitOps model (Argo) for fast, safe releases
- Design and harden multi-tenant isolation and blast-radius protection for top-tier customers, including the path to dedicated / single-tenant deployments
- Lead database stabilization and the platform work behind performance, availability, and safe migrations
- Build the infrastructure foundations for compliance-heavy and government deployments (encryption, authentication, boundary and data-flow design)
- Set the standard for observability, on-call, and operational readiness across engineering, and evangelize platform-first thinking
More about this role
🧠 About Cortex
Cortex is the Engineering Operations Platform - mission control for the AI software factory. As AI multiplies how much teams ship, code stops being the bottleneck and everything around it becomes the constraint. Cortex gives engineering organizations the visibility, governance, and golden paths to move fast without runaway risk to reliability and security - across Catalog and Context Graph, Scorecards, Engineering Intelligence, Self-Service and Workflows, and AI Impact.
We're a YC company, SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 certified, used by teams like Rapid7, Xero, BigCommerce, Skyscanner, LetsGetChecked, and H&R Block. AI-augmented engineering is the floor here, not a side experiment - Cortex engineers build on Cortex every day.
📍Location
We’re fully remote and welcome candidates from anywhere in the US! We have all-company offsites a few times a year where we fly the whole team out to meet in person, build stronger relationships, kick off important projects, and have fun!
