We are looking for a motivated Principal Platform Engineer to join our Cortex Devops Platform group in our Tel Aviv offices. The team is responsible for the orchestration platform that manages the entire lifecycle of the production environment hosting all Cortex products, as well as the enablement of the entire RnD group using self service APIs and internal tooling.
More information about Cortex can be found here(opens in new window)(opens in new window).
Your Impact
Develop the orchestration platform that manages the entire lifecycle of the production environment hosting all Cortex products deployed on GCP
Develop Kubernetes operators and cloud-native applications to streamline our infrastructure management and deployment processes.
Collaborate with engineering teams to design and enhance software architecture to improve scalability, service reliability, cost and performance.
Stay abreast of cutting-edge technologies and deploy them to production environments when appropriate.
Contribute to team-wide efforts including code reviews, design reviews, and technical/architectural decisions.
Participate in the on-call rotation to provide support for applications and infrastructure.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Cortex Platform Application team, you will be a hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, building, and operating critical backend platform services and customer facing features used across Cortex. This role is for an engineer who can combine deep platform/backend expertise with strong ownership, practical execution, and cross-team influence. You will help build scalable and reliable services, guide technical decisions, improve engineering methods, mentor engineers, and raise the quality of how the team designs, ships, documents, tests, and operates its systems. The team owns a broad set of platform capabilities, including areas such as application configuration, dashboards and reporting infrastructure, metrics, multi-tenant and MSSP infrastructure, log forwarding, notifications, auditing, access and permission engines, filtering and querying infrastructure, and other shared application platform domains. We develop customer facing features, as well as internal capabilities serving other development teams within cortex. We are looking for someone who is not only strong technically, but also enjoys being a part of a high-performing team, taking ownership from within, and helping turn strong execution into repeatable engineering practice. A successful candidate will quickly become a trusted part of the team by shipping meaningful work, learning the team's domains, and helping others move faster. Over time, this person will help the team increase delivery capacity while also improving how work is designed, documented, tested, operated, and shared across the organization. The right person will not act as an external advisor or abstract architect. They will join the team's day-to-day work, earn trust through execution, and help create organized technical influence from inside the team.
Design, build, and operate scalable, reliable, and secure backend services for the Cortex Platform.
Act as a hands-on technical leader, writing and reviewing production code for critical platform services.
Lead technical design for complex backend and platform domains, balancing long-term architecture with practical delivery.
Own and improve core platform capabilities used by internal engineering teams and Cortex customers.
Drive operational excellence, including observability, monitoring, alerting, incident response, reliability, and participation in on-call.
Improve engineering methods around documentation, testing, design reviews, ownership models, and production readiness.
Mentor senior, mid-level, and junior engineers through design guidance, code reviews, production work, and day-to-day collaboration.
Collaborate closely with product managers, architects, security experts, QA, DevOps, and other engineering teams.
Help internal customers use platform capabilities correctly by creating clarity, alignment, and practical technical guidance.
Identify gaps in systems, processes, and ownership, and lead improvements without adding unnecessary process or friction.
Contribute to a calm, practical, low-ego engineering culture focused on ownership, execution, and continuous improvement.
