Job description

The Site Reliability Engineering team designs and builds the global infrastructure on which we deploy our services, focusing on the flagship MongoDB Atlas platform. As our customers grow and globalize, our services must satisfy demands for low-latency requests around the globe, and comply with various data sovereignty requirements. The SRE Team’s mission is to build this increasingly complex infrastructure, while continually lowering the operational burden associated with it, and increasing our internal visibility into the health of the system. We are strong believers in infrastructure-as-code and self-healing systems. The SRE Team is fully integrated with all the other engineering teams, and the teams work closely together with a soft and traversable boundary between their areas of responsibility.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in New York City for our hybrid working model.

Responsibilities

• Design and build the infrastructure for a global cloud service that comprises hundreds of thousands of MongoDB clusters, processes a billion metrics per day, and replicates tens of billions of database writes to our backup service
• Design, implement, and troubleshoot the automation and monitoring of services that seamlessly spans the globe - including several cloud providers
• Become an expert in infrastructure performance, helping us optimize from the application level all the way through the firmware
• Build for resilience. Our goal is that nobody’s pager goes off, ever. While we work on that - participate in a weekly on-call rotation
• Improve our infrastructure capabilities, optimizing for cost, simplicity, and maintainability

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience running a mission critical service at scale in a Linux environment
• Firm grasp of at least one modern programming language, beyond basic scripting
• Familiarity with web and network protocols and standards (HTTP, TLS, DNS, etc)
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• Experience writing automation tools & eagerness to "automate all the things"

Nice to have

• Experience building large applications from scratch, complete with CI/CD infrastructure
• Experience in networking, security, hardware or OS performance tuning
• Experience with at least one of the major cloud providers (Amazon Web Services, Google Compute, Microsoft Azure)
• Experience managing kubernetes clusters or other container orchestration infrastructure
• Experience with observability of large scale distributed systems
