Job details

Senior Software Engineer, Atlas Search

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.

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.

Ideally you will be:

  • Proficient in modern programming languages and techniques
  • Eager to impact and envision the technological future of a complex system
  • Experienced in developing distributed systems, cloud services and SaaS products
  • Experienced in designing and maintaining search platforms or distributed databases is preferred but not required
  • Experienced in debugging and profiling multithreaded JVM applications is preferred but not required

You would get to:

  • Build and design our integrated search platform, written in Java
  • Contribute to two leading open source platforms, MongoDB and Lucene
  • 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:

  • In 3 months, you'll contribute to the improvement of our core "mongoT" repository
  • In 6 months, you'll be working on features such as query features or platform improvements
  • In 12 months, you'll be building POCs, designing new features, and collaborating with other teams from across the company on complex projects
