About Us

At Cortex, each one of us has felt the pain of engineering complexity at scale. We know what it feels like to get paged at 3 am for a service you've never seen before and frantically search for how to fix it.

We've watched engineering teams drown in spreadsheets, struggle with tribal knowledge, and build yet another internal tool just to keep the chaos at bay.

That's why we built Cortex

Built by engineers from companies like Uber and Twilio, Cortex is the Engineering Operations platform that helps organizations continuously improve their operational maturity and reduce developer friction – so that the whole organization operates as one.
Our customers – from startups to Fortune 100 enterprises – create a culture of engineering excellence, reducing incidents by 30% and improving MTTR by 50%, all while making it easier for developers to focus on building.

Come join us and help us transform the way software is built!

A couple of words from our team members

Jeff Schnitter

Solution Architect at Cortex

“There is no question that the market needs a product like Cortex. Engineering ecosystems are incredibly complex. Technology and standards evolve rapidly, team re-organizations are frequent and the amount of things engineering teams are responsible for is immense. Cortex helps to tame, or at least wrangle with, that chaos.”

Aaron Wirick

Senior Staff Software Engineer

“What's most satisfying about working at Cortex is that I get to work on a team where everyone also cares deeply about our customers and building a great product. When our team comes together and delivers something great, I know that we've just made some engineer's life a little easier or maybe helped a company level up their entire engineering team. It's pretty cool to be an engineer that helps other engineers.”

Patrick Toomey

Enterprise Account Director

“I love the people and the problem that we are solving. Having come from the dev tooling space, it's easy to get caught up in the tool race, a tool for security, a tool for code quality, a tool for observability, the list goes on and on. With all this noise, the actual benefit you get from these tools is limited or marginalized due to the amount of information you can make meaningful conclusions about. Cortex sits at the center of this problem by taking all this noise, normalizing it, and giving you real visibility to drive specific action. What would take you weeks and months to sift through now becomes real-time data that's actionable for teams to make decisions on. Watching our customers go from chaos to clarity has left a meaningful impact on how I view tools and what success can look like for our clients.”

Riley Durham

Senior Events & Field Marketing Manager

“At Cortex, the bar for excellence is incredibly high, but the support system is even higher. I’m constantly energized by the challenge of bringing our community together through events like Evolve. There is a unique brilliance here, yet everyone remains completely down-to-earth; it makes even the most complex global projects a joy to execute.”
