Job description

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.

MongoDB is seeking a Software AI Engineer to help develop and ship AI-powered features that accelerate customer workload migration to MongoDB. You'll be building robust AI agents, not just incremental updates, with your work having high visibility and broad impact across the organization.

Organizations face significant challenges with legacy applications including poor scalability, long development cycles, and cloud migration difficulties. Our Application Modernization team is creating solutions and AI-powered tools like the Relational Migrator to guide customers in transitioning from relational databases to our document-based model.

You'll join a team that combines startup agility with enterprise resources, giving you creative freedom and substantial backing. This role requires comfort with breaking down complex problems and working at the forefront of generative AI technologies.

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

What You’ll Do

• Design and build code-to-code translation solutions to automate the migration of codebases from relational databases to our document-based model
• Contribute to AI projects and applications end-to-end, working in a cross-functional setting. This includes method and model selection, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, performance assessment, and collaboration with engineering teams to integrate AI into broader systems
• Collaborate with other software engineers, AI engineers and stakeholders to continuously evolve and improve AI-powered products
• Help the team to learn and apply the latest industry developments in the AI field
• Build evaluation and monitoring frameworks for AI products in production
• Contribute to the development of our agent framework and capabilities
• Further improve the team’s best practices for AI development and deployment

What You Bring To The Table

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, related quantitative field or equivalent experience
• Demonstrated effectiveness in contributing to the delivery of new products in research or startup environments
• Knowledge of database schema design principles for both relational and document-based models
• 2+ years of software engineering and/or product engineering experience
• 1+ years of industry experience in AI with demonstrated results
• Experience building Generative AI applications, specifically Agentic flows, RAG, or any state of the art methods in leveraging language models
• Experience building evaluation frameworks for AI applications that leverage foundational models
• Strong fundamentals in Software Engineering
• Ability to drive 0-1 / MVP projects, rapid prototyping
• Experience with static code analysis tools is a plus

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You're passionate about generative AI technology and have contributed to an existing generative AI system
• You're excited about joining a growing team and helping shape its culture and direction
• You're comfortable taking initiative on new concepts with some direction
• You’re able to drive down ambiguity with some direction in order to scope down a problem before solving it
• Show curiosity, collaborative thinking, and intellectual honesty
• Worked on full-stack and AI technologies
• Are adaptable and keen to experiment
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• You’re passionate about creating tools that simplify highly technical migration processes
