Our team is distributed all across North America and we support office-based and remote work, and align projects with convenient work hours for each time-zone.  The ADF team prides itself on building high-quality software using clean abstractions, and lives MongoDB cultural values every day – we value intellectual curiosity and honesty, and building together in an environment that prioritizes collaboration over competition.
