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.
