Our R&D Productivity Group

MongoDB is a complex, mission-critical database server that operates in a wide range of environments. Customers rely on its ability to meet high standards for Performance, Security, Availability, and Correctness. Achieving these standards requires robust developer tooling at every layer of the stack, from the underlying storage engine to the tools supporting our Atlas cloud offering. The Developer Productivity organization plays a vital role in enabling MongoDB engineers to ship products that meet our high company standards.

Within Developer Productivity, the Last Mile team works closely with teams across the company to identify challenges and solve them in ways that delight other development teams. Our engineers collaborate with stakeholders delivering critical features, pinpoint gaps in core infrastructure, and implement solutions that benefit all development teams. This role requires a deep empathy for stakeholders, a strong understanding of business impact, and a willingness to dive into the entire breadth of our tooling. This is a unique opportunity to drive broad impact on both the business and the daily workflows of teams throughout MongoDB.

This role can be based out of our Austin or New York City offices or remotely in the United States.

The ideal candidate should

+ Have 4+ years of experience working on software or software systems

+ Demonstrate the ability to quickly learn, adapt to, and excel with new technologies, frameworks, and tools in dynamic environments

+ Have experience working in Python

+ Have experience working with compiled languages (this team interacts with, but does not write, C++ and Go code)

+ Have experience designing and building tools to be used by other developers, including web based tools, APIs, and/or command line tools

+ Have experience shipping systems in a Cloud environment such as Kubernetes and AWS or similar, and understanding concepts such as provisioning and deployment

Expectations

+ Collaborate with teams across the organization to understand their most pressing challenges and create solutions that address their needs

+ Develop a broad, high level understanding of core systems used to build MongoDB products, and be able to help navigate and resolve issues that span across multiple teams

+ Build tools to use across the development lifecycle to help teams work faster and ship higher quality products

+ Provide internal support for our systems, answering questions and addressing technical issues as they arise

+ Provide guidance and mentorship to junior team members, fostering their technical growth, professional development, and confidence in solving complex problems
