- You have a growth mindset, continuously and consistently evolving your craft
- You possess strong collaboration skills. You enjoy working with others to achieve a common goal
- You're comfortable and productive in a distributed setting, with a proven ability to collaborate with team members in different time zones, within your working hours
- You are approachable, curious, and intellectually honest

What the job involves
- We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our growing team, which builds the foundational platform for all of Atlas's public APIs, mainly the Atlas Administration API
- As part of this team, you will design, build, and support the core services that define the entire API lifecycle, ensuring a world-class experience for both API consumers and internal developers. You will own the key pillars of our API platform, such as:
- Defining API standards, linting, versioning, breaking change detection, and changelog capabilities
- Implementing API rate limiting and collecting crucial API telemetry
- Improving CI/CD support for API producers, automating example generation, and enhancing our documentation platform through Open API
- Furthermore, you will leverage AI to enhance our developer support by refining our central Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) tooling, providing intelligent, context-aware assistance to API Producers
- Your work will directly impact how all developers interact with Atlas, both internally and externally, ensuring our APIs are consistent, reliable, easy to use, and form a solid programmatic interface for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, such as the MongoDB Atlas Terraform Provider and AWS CloudFormation
- Design, implement, test, and release features for our Atlas Administration API
- Apply our core values to your work in planning, designing, and delivering
- Build tools that support MongoDB users and developers on their journey
- Incrementally ship elements of sophisticated projects
- Assist with investigating and solving problems experienced by our customers (second-level support for features our team owns)
- In three months, you'll have become familiar with our developer tools and the existing features most relevant to the API Platform
- In six months, you will be building features and leading your projects. You will share knowledge with the team, collaborating where needed to achieve our team goals
- In nine months, you will be fully embedded in the team. In addition to leading your projects, you will contribute ideas to the team roadmap, helping us improve our workflow. You will be mentoring other team members, helping them learn from your experience
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.
