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 Atlas Online Archive service provides low-cost, tiered storage for querying infrequently-accessed, read-only data. By optimizing the storage layout for customer data during ingestion and rebalancing it as needed, Online Archive delivers great performance and scalability at reasonable cost for Atlas customers.

• Proficient in a modern compiled programming language (Go, Java, C#, C++, etc.)
• Experience implementing, and operating distributed storage systems with high availability and durability guarantees
• Enjoys working with others towards a common goal
• You're a self-starter! You're comfortable organizing your own time and propose changes backed by data
• Is curious, collaborative, empathetic, coachable and intellectually honest
• Great diagnostics skills, considering edge cases in designs with a bias for simplicity
• Has a passion for problem solving and learning new things in the domains of computer science and software engineering

Nice to haves

• Oncall experience and having customer first approach when considering different approaches
• Experience designing Data Lake protocols (and similar e.g. Delta Lake, Hudi,...)
• Experience optimizing throughput in distributed storage systems
• Experience working with multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure)
