Join the Cloud Billing Team

As MongoDB's Cloud business grows, so does its reliance on the Cloud Billing Teams: Billing Platform and Payments.

It's a constantly evolving technical challenge to meet the demanding needs of the business as our customer base expands rapidly across the globe. Our talented engineers are technically proficient, obsessed with code quality, rigorous about testing and correctness, and skilled at communicating with stakeholders representing many different personas within the company.

Here's a sampling of the teams’ responsibilities:

• Continuously improve the customer experience
• Continuously improve and scale our backend systems
• Integrate with the major Cloud providers (AWS, Azure and Google Cloud)
• Integrate with payment processors (Stripe, Braintree and more to come)
• Integrate with our internal data lake to support the business analytics needs of the Finance team
