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 Networking & Observability Team builds infrastructure for low-overhead observability and communication between MongoDB Server nodes, clients, and other services. We operate close to the bottom of the stack, and have a huge impact on the performance and robustness of the database. Recently, we’ve worked on POCs for making our RPC stack’s architecture as performant as possible and are integrating OpenTelemetry to accelerate the diagnosis of performance issues and test failures.
Our team champions a strong culture of inclusivity, diversity, and collaboration. If you want to be a deeply technical leader on a collaborative team that applies low-level systems and networking expertise to build the foundational infrastructure of a popular database, join us! Let’s build a faster, more reliable, and exceptionally observable database system together
This role can be based out of our NYC office or remotely from anywhere in North America.

• Lead the architecture and implementation of low-level networking components that drive the performance, scalability, cost-efficiency, and resiliency of MongoDB Server
