• Systems engineering experience: Linux performance, memory management, I/O tuning, configuration, security, networking, clusters, and troubleshooting.
• Good understanding of networking concepts and protocols (DNS, TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, etc.).
• Storage engineering experience: NAS, SAN, SSD, multi‑pathing, and caching.
• Experience building and maintaining complex mission‑critical production database systems.
• Basic coding/scripting ability in one or more languages: Java, Python, Ruby, C, C++, C#, JavaScript, Node.js, Go, etc.
• Broad awareness of customer workloads and use cases, including performance, availability, and scalability.
• Ability to analyze issues holistically from the application tier through the database down to storage.
• Genuine desire to help people.
• Ability to think on your feet, remain calm under pressure, and solve problems in real time.
• Desire and ability to rapidly learn a wide variety of new technical skills.
• Collaboration: willingness and ability to get help from teammates when required and good judgment to know when to seek help.

Bonus Points

• Experience managing large‑scale databases (e.g., RDBMS, NoSQL).
• Experience with authentication systems such as LDAP, Kerberos, AD.
• Experience using or managing MongoDB.
• Experience with distributed version control systems, especially Git.
• Experience using any cloud services stack such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience with Kubernetes or other orchestration systems using vendor‑specific enterprise operators.

Special Requirements

• Must be a U.S. Citizen.

• Within 3 months: Gain deep understanding of MongoDB and its ecosystem and complete New Hire Training.
• Within 6 months: Comfortable working frontline with customers; complete the MongoDB Certified DBA Associate exam.
