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.

The MongoDB Atlas team is a diverse group of contributors working together to help our users manage MongoDB at global scale. We are responsible for MongoDB Atlas: our database as a service offering and fastest growing product which allows users to deploy fault-tolerant, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in just minutes.

We're seeking a Senior Engineer to join the Atlas Identity and Access Management (IAM) team. IAM is a platform and a product team. We serve internal engineers by providing them a secure and durable suite of services, and we serve external customers by providing them user facing features and products. We are the owners of Atlas’ authentication (OAuth, SSO, Federated Identity) and authorization (RBAC, ABAC) systems, along with many others. The IAM team’s mission is to enable customers to securely build their applications with Atlas through our best in class user experience.

This role can be based out of our Toronto office for a hybrid or in-office working model.

Role Responsibilities

• Design, architect, build, and deliver core pieces of IAM

• Lead projects from specification to delivery

• Mentor and grow other team members

• Improve our codebase, best practices, and design principles

• Define your top priorities and focuses, communicate them, and execute against them

• Lead and contribute to complex technical projects and initiatives

Candidate Profile

• 5+ years experience of software engineering, primarily focused on backend systems

• Proficient in a modern compiled programming language (Java, Go, C#, C++, etc.)

• Willingness to learn JavaScript and/or TypeScript along with modern frontend technologies (React, Redux, etc.); prior experience a plus

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal

• Desire to collaborate with colleagues and mentor fellow engineers

• Is curious, collaborative, empathetic, and intellectually honest

• Has a passion for problem solving and learning new things in the domains of computer science and software engineering

• Experience building identity and access management systems such as authentication (OAuth, SSO), authorization (RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC), and login and registration systems a plus

Success Measures

• In 1 week you'll have completed your first pull request

• In 3 months, you'll have contributed to a large project

• In 6 months, you’ll be leading the design and execution of your own project
