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 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 Atlas Data Federation service creates virtual databases that enables customers to query, transform, and analyze data across multiple sources (MongoDB clusters and cloud object storage) through a unified MongoDB query interface, without moving or copying the underlying data. We handle  hundreds of millions of queries per month, processing exabytes of customer data.

The Atlas Data Federation team seeks a Senior Engineer to join the team who would be responsible for driving high-impact projects that improve and enhance the performance, automation, availability and reliability of the Atlas Data Federation distributed systems. We value intellectual curiosity and honesty, and building together in an environment that prioritizes collaboration over competition. 

Our team is distributed across North America. The position is open to our “in office”, “flexible”, or fully remote working models with convenient work hours for each time-zone.
