MongoDB empowers innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data.
The Role

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 a modern database platform that helps developers build faster, more reliable applications. We power some of the world’s most innovative products and services out of our offices worldwide, from New York to Sydney, Berlin to Dublin, and just about everywhere in between.

Our Design Systems team brings together designers and engineers to craft a unified library of accessible, high-performance UI components and best-in-class front-end tooling that ensure consistent, inclusive experiences across every MongoDB product.

We’re looking for a UI Engineer who will not only build and maintain robust React components, but also help shape the next generation of our system by integrating AI-driven capabilities. You’ll collaborate closely with product designers and fellow engineers to define component APIs, optimize for performance and scalability, and deliver developer tools that streamline interface creation at scale.

Our ideal candidate...
  • Has several years of experience building production-ready web applications
  • Has a robust understanding of HTML and CSS core concepts and best practices
  • Deeply understands JavaScript and is familiar with modern JavaScript APIs and syntax (ES6+)
  • Is experienced with building highly-interactive applications using React.js
  • Is knowledgeable about a wide range of web and internet technologies
  • Has a passion for creating resilient, scalable, and maintainable software
  • Is highly detail-oriented, especially when working with design specifications
You might be an especially great fit if...
  • You love TypeScript as much as we do
  • You’ve used MongoDB in the past
  • You enjoy building complex web animations using SVGs, sprite sheets, or HTML canvas
  • You were a designer in a past life
  • You've worked with Next.js, or other similar frameworks
  • You’ve built or designed for developer-centric products in the past
At MongoDB, you will...
  • Build highly-interactive React components, applying industry best-practices
  • Write, maintain, test, and document new and existing React components
  • Solve challenges arising from developing components used by many highly-interactive applications across MongoDB
  • Collaborate with team members to develop and mature our best practices and core concepts
  • Participate in peer code reviews, offering mentorship and guidance to teammates
  • Stay up-to-date with modern web development best practices
  • Work closely with Design Systems team members and external stakeholders to establish component behaviors, APIs, and visuals
  • Help maintain our documentation site, MongoDB.design
You’ll be successful if you...
  • Own our core values and apply them to your work
  • Show curiosity, collaborative thinking, and intellectual honesty
  • Are passionate about making the web more accessible to everyone
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills

Additionally, you will accomplish the following in the first 90 days:

30 days

  • Understand the products within MongoDB's portfolio, how they're designed, and the teams who design them
  • Understand team operations by exploring our codebase and submitting your first pull request

60 days 

  • Complete our new hire technical training.
  • Build, merge, and publish at least one new component and developer documentation for it

90 days

  • Work with an external team to integrate a component into their codebase
  • Continue to make contributions to our codebase and submit peer code reviews
