Description
We are looking for a talented and dynamic senior C++ software engineer to join our software development team. You will be crucial in designing, developing, and optimizing new features for our Percona Server for MongoDB (PSMDB).
You will also collaborate closely with the team building Percona Backup for MongoDB and other teams focused on enhancing the value of PSMDB. We have big ambitions for bringing innovative enterprise-grade functionality to the MongoDB community and are looking for the right person to bring energy and optimism to the team!
Time Zone Coverage: CEST
What You Will Do
- Collaborate with a geographically distributed team to design and implement new features that extend PSMDB’s core functionality.
- Analyze and enhance MongoDB's performance by working with storage engines (e.g., WiredTiger), developing optimizations for high-throughput environments, and debugging performance bottlenecks.
- Participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality software. Engage with the broader MongoDB open-source community by submitting and reviewing pull requests (PRs) and addressing issues the community raises.
- Work closely with product managers, QA teams, and community contributors to shape PSMDB’s roadmap and prioritize features that bring the most outstanding value.
- Build robust and resilient database solutions focusing on ensuring data integrity, fault tolerance, and high availability across distributed systems.
- Contribute to upstream projects we leverage to bring our solutions to the community.
- Serve as a mentor to junior developers, guiding best practices in software design, coding, testing, and debugging, particularly in large-scale distributed database systems.
- Blog, present, and evangelize our software to help increase adoption and keep our thriving community growing
- Engage with other departments in Percona to ensure we’re delivering value-driven solutions.
What You Have Done
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent experience
- Minimum 5+ years of experience in C++ development and object-oriented design
- Strong understanding of NoSQL databases and large-scale distributed systems, preferably MongoDB
- Strong knowledge of compression and encryption algorithms and techniques
- Experience with Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery tools such as Jenkins, CircleCI, and Travis
- Experience with high concurrency threading models, atomics, and locking primitives
- Knowledge of various programming and scripting languages such as BASH, Perl, and Python
- Working with tools like profiler, gdb, and strace for debugging
What Will Make You Stand Out
- Deep and hands-on experience with memory management, multithreading, and system-level programming
- Contributions to MongoDB or similar open-source projects that demonstrate your expertise and community engagement
- Experience in Linux systems administration, including suitable expertise with file systems, hardware, and networking

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
