Senior Software Engineer

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.

Engineers at MongoDB collaborate in delivering a one-of-a-kind, cloud scale, performant, and popular developer data platform. The Correctness Team at MongoDB is a part of a collective Developer Productivity group that helps developers innovate and iterate with speed and confidence. Specifically, the Correctness Team designs, implements, integrates, and maintains the tools, frameworks, and testing strategies that help MongoDB’s engineers ensure their products deploy with the highest measures of correctness and quality.
