Summary Generated by Built In

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 anywhere—on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 developers joining MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

Join and be a part of leading the MongoDB Networking Observability team, helping build the core of a distributed database! Our team focuses on creating and enhancing components which facilitate communication between cooperating distributed processes and make these processes, and their communication, easily observable. Networking Observability’s responsibilities include improving MongoDB networking, improving the efficiency of resource utilization and building low-overhead observability features.

Our team currently consists of six engineers, some located in New York City and some fully remote. We operate close to the bottom of the stack, and have a lot of influence over the performance and robustness of our open source database as well as the development efficiency of the engineering team overall. Recently we’ve worked on POCs and performance tests for new architectural directions in our networking stack, and are integrating OpenTelemetry to accelerate investigation of issues or performance bottlenecks in our tests.

Are you excited to help the MongoDB engineering team build a better database? We are! Join us today, and we can build a faster, more reliable, exceptionally observable, database system together.

This role can be based out of our New York City office or remotely in the North America region.
