About MongoDB

MongoDB is a leading developer data platform that empowers innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. Our mission is to enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI.

We offer a globally distributed, multi-cloud database, MongoDB Atlas, which is available in over 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Our platform allows customers to build anywhere-on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Staff Engineer to join our Replication Team. As a Staff Engineer, you will be responsible for building infrastructure to support fault tolerance, high availability, and tunable consistency in our distributed systems. You will work on highly visible projects that are typically among the flagship features for each major MongoDB release, including multi-document transactions.

Our team champions a strong culture of inclusivity, diversity, and collaboration. We are looking for a talented engineer who is passionate about distributed systems, consensus protocols, and data replication. If you want to work on a collaborative team that applies distributed systems fundamentals to deliver core features of a popular database, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities
  • Develop novel data replication solutions based on the Raft consensus protocol for ensuring automatic failover and zero-downtime of user applications
  • Handle distributed systems-related customer escalations from Technical Support team
  • Write production-ready database code in C++
  • Write unit tests and integration tests in C++, Javascript, and Python to demonstrate application correctness
  • Diagnose test failures, identify bugs in existing code, and fix them
  • Investigate the performance impact of code changes that may cause software performance regressions
  • Interview candidates for software engineering positions
  • Develop and maintain expertise on cutting-edge database and distributed systems research from industry and academia
  • Handle (or lead the effort to handle) time-sensitive customer escalations
  • Lead development and project management of large, cross-team projects
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and engineering teams across the company to jointly work on large initiatives
  • Advise Product Management on engineering complexity and inter-project dependencies
  • Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering leadership to define product roadmaps
Success Measures
  • In the first month, you will have understood the high-level architecture of MongoDB replication and fixed a few bugs.
  • In three months, you will have contributed to the development in C++ of a project slated for the next major release of MongoDB, and diagnosed and fixed a few customer or testing-reported issues.
  • In six months, you will have taken on code review responsibilities and are involved in reviewing the design for new features.
  • In twelve months, you will be leading the development of a new feature and helping to mentor new engineers on the team.
