About Cortex

What is Cortex?

Cortex helps engineering teams understand and improve their services.
By aggregating data from tools like Datadog and Okta, we help teams
understand their architecture at a glance - everything from ownership
to runbooks. Using this data, we enable engineers to build report
cards that score services against initiatives and service quality
standards, helping teams build high quality software and instill a
culture of quality.

Why join us?

The tools teams use today (excel sheets and confluence) are
cumbersome and rudimentary - we're on a mission to create a new
category of engineering tooling, to solve the organizational
complexity of microservices.

We're a fast growing, Sequoia+YC backed startup. You'll have real
ownership over our product and direction - there's no doubt you'll be
making an outsized impact on our trajectory. As market creators, we
have several interesting engineering and product challenges to solve,
and your input will directly influence the direction of the company.

About the role

Skills: Java, Kotlin, React

What is Cortex?

Cortex (https://www.getcortexapp.com/) is a tool that lets
engineering teams understand and improve their service oriented
architecture. We aggregate data from tools like Datadog, Pagerduty,
and Okta, and let teams build rules on top of that data to define and
track progress against service quality standards.

Why join us?

Microservices have introduced a whole set of organizational
challenges within teams and the current range of solutions to solve
those challenges are really bad (excel sheets or confluence tables).
You'd be given a ton of ownership and opportunities to really make an
outsized impact on our team. We have several interesting engineering
and product challenges to solve, and your input will directly
influence the direction of our product.

What is the role? We're an early stage (YC and Sequoia backed)
company, so you'll be working on a little bit of everything.

  * Building integrations with third party data sources (e.g.
    SonarQube, Datadog, Confluence)
  * Building out a live graph of services and their dependencies
  * Adding new functionality to our app (React + Typescript)
  * Exposing third party data in our REST API (Kotlin)
  * Adding functionality to our rules engine (kotlin evaluator)

What's our stack?

  * Kotlin + Spring Boot
  * Postgres
  * Typescript + React + Bootstrap
  * Kubernetes (GKE)

Technology

We're an early stage (YC and Sequoia backed) team, so you'll be
working on a little bit of everything - from product decisions to
tough engineering problems.

  * Help us decide what to build next! We're creating a brand new
    market category and the area is ripe for innovation.
  * Build integrations with third party data sources (e.g. SonarQube,
    Datadog, Confluence)
  * Building out a live graph of services and their dependencies
  * Spec, design, and build functionality in our web app (React +
    Typescript)
  * Adding functionality to our custom rules engine (ANTLR grammar
    for language, kotlin evaluator)

What's our stack?

  * Kotlin + Spring Boot
  * Postgres
  * Typescript + React + Bootstrap
  * Kubernetes (GKE)
  * ANTLR
