Senior Software Engineer

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.

The Cluster to Cluster Synchronization team is focused on migrating data via database dumps and restores, as well as optimizing performance and scalability for our most demanding customers. Our primary mission is to make migrations and backups of MongoDB clusters easy, reliable, and high-performing. Our main focus is on tools like mongosync, which migrates data between MongoDB clusters. This tool is a top priority for the company and critical for migrating customers from on-prem MongoDB to MongoDB's cloud service, MongoDB Atlas. The team is largely based out of the US, with the majority being based out of NYC.

Our team champions a strong culture of inclusivity and collaboration. If you want to work on a collaborative team that's dedicated to building high-performance, scalable services for syncing databases, this is the team for you! 

This role can be based out of our Barcelona Office or remotely in Spain.

Successful candidates will have the following qualities

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and maintaining industrial-strength software with a focus on performance and scalability
• Expertise in distributed systems, including data replication, scalability, and fault tolerance
• Experience in at least one compiled language, with an interest in working with Go
• Experience with infrastructure on public cloud, ideally Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform
• Excellent verbal and written technical communication skills, with a desire to collaborate with colleagues and mentor junior engineers and interns
• Curiosity, willingness, and ability to quickly learn new things in computer science and software engineering domains, with an emphasis on performance tuning and optimization

You'll be on the team responsible for

• Building and optimizing mongosync, a database migration and syncing tool that emphasizes performance and scalability, used by MongoDB Atlas and on-prem customers
• Developing and enhancing the MongoDB Database Tools, a set of CLI utilities for working with a MongoDB deployment, including tools for high-performance importing, exporting, and diagnostics
• Creating large scale performance and testing infrastructure for Mongosync’s most demanding customers

Success Measures

• In three months, you’ll have developed a deep understanding of MongoDB and mongosync, contributing to performance-related improvements and fixing bugs in existing code
• In six months, you’ll be reviewing code and new feature designs, with an active role in the design and implementation of a major project focused on scalability, while leading development of smaller performance enhancements
• In twelve months, you’re leading the design and development of major new features aimed at boosting performance and scalability, and are mentoring new engineers. You have a strong familiarity with the products the team owns and can work across the codebase
