Job Description

MongoDB’s mission is to empower 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 and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

Join the MongoDB Server Query Integration team, and help us build a world-class distributed open-source database. Our team plays a crucial role in the experience and performance of data processing. We are responsible for building user-facing features on top of the core query engine and helping to integrate query with other products in the MongoDB ecosystem. This includes enhancing our time-series product, extending language support for analytics, helping grow our Atlas Search and Vector Search products with database support and adding workload telemetry to provide greater insight into how our database is used.

We have tons of interesting problems to solve with a direct impact on users for transactional, time-series, lexical and vector search and analytical workloads. The team is endeavoring to systematically rewrite every major component of our optimization and execution systems. We need your help to design and build the heart of a distributed, flexible schema, document database.
