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 Query Team is hiring Software Engineers who want to join us in building a state-of-the-art distributed query system. We are responsible for the MongoDB Query Language and the lifecycle of each query, from parsing to optimization to plan selection; our engineers work on maintaining and improving our optimization and execution frameworks and building new query language features to help power our customers' critical workloads. Throughout all our work, our highest priority is always ensuring that customer queries are answered correctly. The successful applicant will be responsible for helping us to maintain the highest standards of quality through rigorous testing and automation strategies.
