About Cortex
Cortex is the Engineering Operations Platform that enables organizations to continuously improve their operational maturity and reduce developer friction. With centralized visibility, clear ownership, automated Scorecards, and golden paths, we help engineering organizations operate 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.
Location
We’re fully remote and typically welcome candidates from anywhere in the US. We get together a few times a year for company offsites where we build stronger relationships, kick off important work, and genuinely enjoy spending time together.
The Team
Our team is ~80 people building something developers actually want to use. We recently raised a $60M Series C led by Scale Ventures (alongside Sequoia and IVP). We're focused on making engineering teams more effective.
The Role
As a Senior Professional Services Engineer, you will act as a hands-on technical consultant, owning customer engagements end to end, from kickoff through delivery and handover. Your focus is helping customers successfully design, implement, and scale their Cortex setup through a consultative, hands-on-driven approach.
You’ll work closely with customers to understand their engineering ecosystem, data models, and how their organization structures its Engineering Operations System. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being close to customers, solving real technical problems, and translating complex systems into practical solutions.
You’ll collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, from engineers and platform teams to Product Managers, Engineering Leadership, and CTOs.
️ What You’ll Do
Customer Engagement & Delivery
- Lead end-to-end delivery of Cortex Onboarding & Implementation packages, from kickoff through handover, via structured enablement workshops and tailored customer engagements
- Serve as the main technical point of contact during implementation to troubleshoot issues, investigate bugs, and raise product feedback
- Act as a trusted, consultative advisor, helping customers make informed design and implementation decisions
Technical Implementation
- Design, configure, and troubleshoot Cortex features and integrations across the engineering toolchain
- Advise on and implement data modeling strategies within Cortex (entities, relationships, ownership); create and communicate architecture diagrams for Cortex setups and ingestion pipelines
- Guide customers on data ingestion automation, ownership, reporting and orchestration approaches (e.g. GitHub Actions, Argo)
Content & Enablement
- Create customer-facing learning guides, walkthroughs, and best-practice documentation
- Plan and facilitate enablement workshops for different audiences (engineering, platform, product, leadership)
- Contribute internal content on advanced technical use cases and implementation patterns
✔️What We’re Looking For
Core Skills & Experience
- Experience in customer-facing technical roles, such as Professional Services, Technical Consulting, Solutions Architecture, Platform Engineering (with customer exposure), or similar
- Hands-on experience integrating SaaS tools via APIs, webhooks, and ingestion pipelines
- Familiarity with modern engineering ecosystems (CI/CD, GitHub/GitLab, cloud providers, observability, incident management)
- Comfortable working with JSON and YAML (Python, SQL, and scripting are a plus)
Compensation
- Starting Salary Range: $140,000 - $160,000
- Competitive Equity Package
- Our job titles may span more than one career level. The actual base pay is dependent upon many factors, such as: training, transferable skills, work experience, business needs and market demands. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. This role is eligible for equity and benefits.
Perks & Benefits
- National medical, dental & vision insurance (we cover 100% for employees!)

Tips for Your Remote Professional Engineer Job Search
Show async work samples upfront
Remote employers need evidence you can deliver without in-person oversight. Include links to project documentation, design reports, or technical write-ups you produced independently. Clear written deliverables signal remote readiness faster than a list of responsibilities.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote professional engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your license, discipline, and experience level and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings.
Highlight your PE license prominently
Remote employers often need engineers licensed in specific states to stamp drawings or sign off on projects from a distance. List every active PE license, the states it covers, and your discipline at the top of your resume so hiring managers find it immediately.
Prepare for a remote technical interview
Remote professional engineer interviews frequently include a shared-screen design review or a take-home calculation exercise. Practice walking through your technical reasoning in clear spoken terms, since interviewers can't read your body language or watch you sketch on a whiteboard.
Remote Professional Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote professional engineer job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams or remote-first hiring models, such as infrastructure consultancies, energy firms, and SaaS companies with large physical product divisions. Remote employers screen heavily for written communication and async project coordination, so highlight both in your application. A PE license, demonstrated self-direction on complex projects, and fluency with cloud-based design and collaboration tools give you a real edge over candidates without remote experience.
Which companies hire remote professional engineers?
Remote professional engineer roles are posted by U.S. Forensic, TKDA, and JFrog and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These range from remote-first consulting firms and distributed energy companies to infrastructure technology organizations that rely on professional engineers working across multiple states.
Can you get a remote professional engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level professional engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect independent problem-solving from day one without in-person mentorship. Remote-first consultancies and smaller distributed firms are your best entry points. You can strengthen your candidacy by showing documented project work, a PE license in progress, and comfort with async communication tools that remote teams rely on daily.
Do you need a degree for remote professional engineer jobs?
Usually, yes, because most PE licensure pathways require an accredited engineering degree as a baseline. Remote employers weigh your license, demonstrated project outcomes, and technical depth alongside formal education. Candidates who can show completed remote or distributed project work and strong written documentation skills are competitive even when their degree field is adjacent rather than a direct match.
Which industries hire the most remote professional engineers?
Most remote professional engineer openings sit in Technology & Software and Banking & Financial Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams to manage projects, review designs, and deliver technical oversight across locations without requiring engineers to be on-site every day.
