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.

We are looking for an experienced Staff Engineer for our SRE, InfraSec team, to guide the security of our cloud-based infrastructure. As a Staff SRE, you will be very hands-on technically while also mentoring a small team of SREs.

The InfraSec team collaborates closely with other engineering teams to ensure that our infrastructure adheres to the highest security standards. They build essential security infrastructure and implement controls that reinforce the platform’s security posture.

This is an SRE team, which means you can expect a highly hands-on approach, tackling the technical challenges of implementing large scale solutions. This team is deeply involved in the technical aspects of security and the nuances of its actual implementation.

Responsibilities:

1. Cloud Security Design and Implementation:

• Help lead the design and deployment of security solutions for cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), including network and compute security, identity management, and cloud security posture management (CSPM).

1. Automation and Monitoring:

• Build automated solutions for real-time security monitoring, logging, and alerting in cloud environments. Leverage native cloud services and third-party tools for runtime security monitoring and anomaly detection.

1. Security Tooling:

• Evaluate, implement, and manage cloud-native security tools and platforms for endpoint security, identity management (IAM), and CSPM.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 7+ years in SRE, infrastructure engineering or similar, with a strong focus on security, including 2+ years in a senior or staff engineering role.

• Security Mindset: Deep understanding of cloud environment security, from OS networking layers to cloud provider configurations. Proven project leadership in security areas such as runtime scanning, security observability, CSPM, etc. Experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP), including IAM, VPC, security groups, and cloud security tools (e.g., GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail).

• Coding/Automation: Proficiency in at least one programming language (Golang preferred but not required) and experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible) to automate security configurations.

• Linux and Networking: Solid understanding of Linux and networking fundamentals and their integration in complex systems.

• Communication and Leadership Skills: Ability to explain complex security concepts clearly and lead a small technical team, fostering success and growth.

We are committed to fostering a supportive culture that promotes personal growth and business impact. We offer various employee benefits, including affinity groups, fertility assistance, and parental leave. Learn more about working at MongoDB and how you can make an impact!
