San Francisco, California, United States MongoDB Full time

MongoDB is a leading developer data platform that empowers 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 anywhere-on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers.

With offices worldwide and over 175,000 developers joining MongoDB every month, it's no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Atlas Search Query team, you will design and develop the next generation of Search query architecture, optimization, and execution.

Atlas Search is a growing cloud service that allows users to execute ANN vector search & complex search queries using the MongoDB Query Language.

Our users can focus on relevance and data retrieval instead of the machinery needed to search data at scale.

Our team is building a cloud-based distributed system responsible for the core components of search including data ingestion, performance, query language, query execution, for both relevance-based search and vector search.

Our product is being adopted quickly and there are many interesting projects.

This is a technical role where you will be responsible for the success of complex Search Query feature development.

This role is based in our San Francisco office.

You would get to:

Lead complex projects across the MongoDB ecosystem, for instance, co-optimization of approximate nearest neighbor vector search with the MongoDB aggregation framework

Set project level strategy, architect features, and lead projects to successful execution

Identify, design, and implement features enhancing our query language, performance, and operability

Perform code reviews with peers and make recommendations on how to improve our software development processes

Influence and grow team members through active mentoring and leading by example

Ideally, you will be:

5+ years experience in data management systems, ideally with a strong query processing and optimization background

Experienced in developing stateful distributed systems

Experienced with designing high-volume query engines, such as a database, search system, or vector search system

Experienced in the development and maintenance of stateful distributed systems

Eager to shape the technological direction of a complex system and have the ability to lead initiatives through collaboration with others

Experienced in debugging and profiling multithreaded JVM applications

Success Measures:

In 1 month, you will be mostly learning - becoming familiar with our teams, systems and architecture

In 3 months, you'll contribute to the improvement of our search engine service

In 6 months, you'll be designing new features and collaborating with other teams from across the company on projects related to search query optimization and execution

From employee affinity groups, to fertility assistance and a generous parental leave policy, we value our employees' wellbeing and want to support them along every step of their professional and personal journeys.
