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.
The MongoDB Catalog and Routing team carries the important responsibility of hiding the complexity of building a distributed database system. They implement scalable interfaces with strong consistency guarantees that are used by other MongoDB developers to navigate and organize globally partitioned data. As a result, their work has a direct impact on the productivity of the entire organization and the success of MongoDB’s horizontal scaling strategy.
Recent work includes the ability to move unpartitionable data sets across multiple nodes without splitting a table’s keyspace, colocating cluster service in the same process in order to reduce resources consumption and operational complexity of running a sharded cluster, and the ability to perform concurrent data definition operations.
Are you excited by the prospect of tackling novel distributed systems challenges in a large scale distributed database system? We are! Join us today, and we can make databases scale for everyone.
This role can be based out of our Dublin office or remotely in Ireland.
