The platform's SRE team owns the operational foundations: the Kubernetes fleet, networking, observability and alerting, and tenant isolation. MongoDB engineering teams pride themselves on building high-quality software and living MongoDB cultural values every day – we value intellectual curiosity and honesty, and building together in an environment that prioritizes collaboration over competition.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Bengaluru for our hybrid working model.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience working on software and operating distributed systems, with deep Kubernetes expertise, including designing or evolving multi-cluster platforms
