Job description

Platform Engineering is the department within SRE that is responsible for a range of critical infrastructure and operational functions that support the broader engineering organization. Among these are our multi-cloud-provider Kubernetes infrastructure, deployment machinery, and observability and alerting systems.

The Fabric team manages the infrastructure that enables secure communication between systems and from the public internet. Their responsibilities encompass network architecture, service mesh, and edge load balancing, ensuring customer data remains safe in transit. The team plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining a reliable and globally connected multi-cloud network that supports MongoDB products.

This role can sit in our Toronto or Vancouver offices, or fully remote from anywhere in North America. When based in an office, we provide hybrid work accommodation.

• Customer‑focused mindset, driving improvements that benefit end‑users
• Strong preference for automation over manual processes (“allergic to ops work”)
• Intimately familiar with modern cloud‑based infrastructure and the network design primitives of at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP (e.g., VPCs, subnetting, routing, VPNs, peering, private link / private service connect, and CDNs)
• Strong knowledge of service mesh and load‑balancing concepts, and eager to implement these in a multi‑cloud environment

Expectations

• Participate in the development of a reliable and resilient multi‑cloud globally‑connected network that is crucial for MongoDB’s services
• Collaborate with service‑owning teams to provide internal support, addressing technical issues and offering guidance on best practices for service‑to‑service connectivity
• Participate in a 24/7 on‑call rotation to swiftly resolve issues related to network architecture and service‑to‑service connectivity, ensuring minimal disruption and high availability
