Cloud Operations 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.

MongoDB Atlas is the premier multi-cloud database-as-a-service built and operated by the makers of MongoDB. The Cloud Operations Engineering team at MongoDB is a worldwide team responsible for the consistent operational success of every MongoDB Atlas customer.

You are prepared to be one of the early members of a 24/7/365 global cloud operations team in the Singapore region.

Cool things you’ll do

Cloud Operations Engineer plays a pivotal role in overseeing and elevating day-to-day operations of MongoDB Atlas. This extends beyond routine tasks, encompassing strategic planning, active participation in technical discussions with internal teams, mentoring, and adeptly handling critical and escalated cases. Applicants must be critical thinkers who are quick to detect, resolve, or escalate issues that are sometimes broad in scope and difficult to trace.

This is a hybrid role that will require 3 days a week in our CITY office, with a specific focus on supporting MongoDB Atlas customers within the financial services sector.

The successful candidate will understand this and have willingness to participate in enhanced background checks and agreements with customers which may include, but are not limited to, customer review of any proposed trades on behalf of the FSI engineer, before they are executed.
