Senior Software Engineer

The worldwide data management software market is massive (IDC forecasts it to be $138 billion by 2026!). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading modern data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

Atlas Search is a growing cloud service that allows users to execute complex search queries using the MongoDB Query Language. Our users are free to focus on relevance and data retrieval instead of the machinery needed to search data at scale. 

Our team is building a cloud-based distributed systems software responsible for the core components of search including: data ingestion, performance, query language and execution, and aggregation. Our product is being adopted quickly and there are many interesting projects you can help with.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in San Francisco for our hybrid working model.

• Participate in product and design discussions
• Perform code reviews with peers and make recommendations on how to improve our code and software development processes
• Collaborate with other teams including cloud services, database, enterprise tools, drivers and support to coordinate changes or contribute to their projects

Success Measures:
