MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

MongoDB is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Atlas Clusters Availability & Durability Team. The team is responsible for building MongoDB Atlas, our database as a service offering and fastest growing product. Atlas allows users to deploy fault-tolerant, secure, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in just minutes. 

The Atlas Clusters Availability & Durability team develops the software that manages the Atlas cluster infrastructure on the three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) all the way up to the UI where customers build and configure their Atlas clusters. We are constantly challenged to design features like auto-healing, auto-scaling, and advanced security on a set of database clusters at a humongous scale.

This role can be based in United Kingdom or remotely within Europe where MongoDB has an entity.

What you’ll do

• Build and design new features for MongoDB Atlas
• Become an expert in and improve our systems for automatically scaling and healing database clusters
• Investigate issues spanning from cloud provider integrations down to OS configuration
• Contribute to and lead complex technical projects
• Work closely with product and design teams, considering the user’s perspective while building technical solutions
• Work with customers and support engineers to fix issues
• Collaborate with team members to develop our codebase, best practices, and design principles
• Learn from and mentor other team members

We’re looking for someone who

• Has at least 5 years of professional software development experience
• Is skilled at writing large-scale, distributed backend systems in a compiled language (Java, C#, Go, etc.)
• Is comfortable working across the stack of a modern web application (e.g. React, TypeScript, Enzyme)
• Has experience with at least one major cloud provider technology (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Has led the launch of a new module and maintained it in production
• Is eager to solve tough problems
• Has excellent communication skills
• Is curious, collaborative, and motivated

Success Measures

• In 3 months, you'll have shipped code into production and collaborated with the team to solve tough problems
• In 6 months, you'll have contributed to a large project
• In 12 months, you'll have designed new features, led development work, and become a go-to expert on parts of the system
