Form of workThe worldwide data management software market is massive (According to IDC, the worldwide database software market, which it refers to as the database management systems software market, was forecasted to be approximately $82 billion in 2023 growing to approximately $137 billion in 2027. This represents a 14% compound annual growth rate). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading developer data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.
Join and be a part of leading the MongoDB Service Architecture team, helping build the core of a distributed database! Our team focuses on creating and enhancing components which facilitate communication all within a single process, between cooperating distributed processes, and between the database and the operating system. Service Architecture's responsibilities include, but are not limited to, maintaining MongoDB networking and command dispatch systems, improving the programming model, and building low level reusable software components that can be leveraged by other teams working on the database.
Our team currently consists of 17 engineers, half located in New York City and half fully remote. We operate close to the bottom of the stack, and have a lot of influence over the performance and robustness of our open-source database as well as the development efficiency of the engineering team overall. Recently we've worked on introducing support for gRPC, adding mechanisms to better manage system overload, and adding cluster connection health metrics to the MongoDB server.
Are you excited to help the MongoDB engineering team build a better database? We are! Join us today, and we can build a faster, more reliable, exceptionally observable, database system together.
This role can be based out of our NYC office or remotely in the US.
