Job Description

The Cortex team builds and delivers the industry’s most advanced SecOps platform, consisting of XDR, XSIAM, XSOAR, and XPANSE. As a Principal DevOps Engineer for the Cortex platform, you will serve as a technical pillar and visionary, architecting, scaling, and optimizing a massive-scale, multi-region GCP environment. In this high-impact role, you will leverage a deep, comprehensive DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering skillset to define the future of our cloud infrastructure. You will not just operate systems; you will set engineering standards, pioneer infrastructure-as-code paradigms, and drive organizational alignment across product engineering and specialized CI/CD groups. Your mission is to champion absolute system resilience, eliminate engineering friction at scale, and guarantee that our next-generation SecOps platform remains secure, cost-optimized, and highly available.

Job Responsibility

  • Architectural Leadership & IaC Strategy: Design and govern the global, multi-region cloud infrastructure strategy using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles (Terraform). Establish blueprints and modular architectures that scale seamlessly across the enterprise
  • Strategic CI/CD & Platform Engineering: Partner with engineering leadership and specialized pipeline teams to architect robust, secure, and self-healing continuous delivery workflows, radically reducing time-to-market for Cortex features
  • Cloud Economics & Optimization: Drive the long-term optimization strategy for our global GCP footprint. Architect for maximum performance, multi-zone reliability, and sophisticated cost-efficiency/FinOps models
  • Consultative Engineering & Influence: Serve as a trusted advisor to Product Engineering teams. Influence the core application architecture early in the lifecycle to ensure services are natively containerized, horizontally scalable, and highly observable
  • Systemic Reliability & Incident Governance: Act as a critical escalation point for complex, systemic outages. Lead post-mortems, identify systemic vulnerabilities, and design architectural mitigations to prevent recurring incidents across the entire platform
  • Advanced Tooling & R&D: Spearhead the creation of internal platforms, automated remediation frameworks, and intelligent auto-scaling solutions to eliminate manual operational toil
  • Technology Evangelism: Continually evaluate emerging technologies, paradigms, and open-source tools. Define the technical roadmap for the DevOps organization and mentor senior engineers across the team

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Cloud Architecture, with a proven track record of owning large-scale, business-critical production environments
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Deep, authoritative expertise in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS), including complex networking, IAM governance, and multi-region architectures
  • Container Orchestration: Expert-level mastery of Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) and the broader cloud-native ecosystem (Service Meshes, Ingress controllers, advanced scheduling)
  • Automation & Software Engineering: High proficiency in Python or Go, advanced Linux internals, and robust shell scripting
  • Expert-level experience designing maintainable, dry, and scalable Terraform modules
  • Enterprise CI/CD: Deep architectural understanding of enterprise-scale software delivery pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) and GitOps methodologies (e.g., ArgoCD)
  • Observability & Telemetry: Proven experience designing comprehensive, platform-wide observability strategies using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and PagerDuty

Nice to have

  • Technical Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, influence engineering directors, and align technical roadmaps across distributed global teams
  • Complex Problem Solving: Exceptional capacity for troubleshooting deeply complex, distributed systems, networking bottlenecks, and cloud infrastructure anomalies
  • Autonomy & Decision Making: A proven track record of operating with absolute autonomy, making high-stakes architectural decisions, and owning the long-term outcomes
