- Atlas allows users to deploy fault-tolerant, secure, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in just minutes
- Our customers range from early stage startups through to AI era titans and major financial institutions. These customers span many industries but all have in common the need for a database which is highly Secure, Durable, Available and Performant
- The Atlas Clusters Availability & Durability team develops the software that manages the Atlas cluster infrastructure from the running virtual machines, through the three major cloud provider platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) all the way up to the UIs and APIs where customers build and configure their Atlas clusters
- We are constantly challenged to design features like auto-healing, auto-scaling, and high confidence durability auditing on a set of database clusters at a humongous scale
- The team's day to day work involves primarily Java, with additional responsibilities in TypeScript+React, and other technologies such as Go, Bazel, and Chef. We collaborate closely with our product, design, support, and engineering leadership teams to build systems which keep our customers' companies running
- Become an expert in and improve our systems for monitoring and healing database clusters
- Contribute to our systems for guaranteeing and auditing the durability of customer data
- Lead technical projects from design to operation, working with stakeholders to build consensus and share progress and operational insights
- Thoroughly investigate issues across many abstraction levels, understanding how architectural patterns in cloud providers connect to operating system behaviour
- Collaborate with product and design teams, considering our varied customers' perspectives while building technical solutions
- Work with customers and support engineers to resolve customer issues and propose improvements to our products
- Collaborate with team members to develop our codebase, best practices, and design principles
- Success Measures:
- In 1 month, you'll have shipped several changes into production and begun onboarding to a small-medium project
- In 3 months, you'll have contributed to a large project and be ready to drive a small-medium project of your own
- In 6 months, you'll be leading a project and have a strong relationship with our stakeholders
- In 12 months, you'll have designed new features, led development work, and become a go-to expert on parts of the system
Our take
MongoDB is an open-source, cross-platform, document-oriented database system. It stores data as JSON-like documents and is written in C++, Go, JavaScript and Python.
Essentially, the company develops tools and blueprints to help businesses and organisations modernise their legacy applications, migrating them to the MongoDB database and the MongoDB Atlas cloud database. With this initiative, MongoDB is particularly taking aim at Oracle customers with ageing applications running on the Oracle relational database system.
Since its release, MongoDB has become one of the most popularly used NoSQL database systems due to its ease of use and efficiency. It is also the fastest-growing database ecosystem, and boasts hundreds of millions of downloads. Recently, the company announced a partnership with Patronus AI, an automated evaluation and security platform, through which it will bring automated LLM evaluation and testing capabilities to enterprise customers.
