Job Description
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.
The Storage Engines team is building WiredTiger, a cutting-edge open-source storage engine. WiredTiger employs modern hardware architectures and software algorithms to achieve extraordinary performance for the most intricate applications. This team includes database engineering pioneers with decades of experience who are considered deep domain specialists.
We are a diverse collection of people globally distributed, with different backgrounds, levels of domain knowledge, viewpoints, and experiences. We are all working together to tackle the obstacles of a fast-growing and ever-demanding data storage technology to keep MongoDB ahead of customers’ expectations.
Are you an experienced software engineer seeking a new opportunity to make a high-impact contribution to the database industry? Do you thrive when debugging high-concurrency systems with peers? Then look no further! The storage backend is the lowest layer in the MongoDB stack, each contribution has a high impact on the product. We are currently working on a major re-architecture for Atlas (our database-as-a-service offering), improving performance for our largest customers and enabling additional workloads.
We are looking to speak to candidates based in Sydney for our hybrid working model.
Technical Qualifications
3+ years of professional software development experience
Familiarity with C or C++
Professional/advanced academic expertise in the domains of systems, distributed systems, or databases is preferred, but not required
Candidate Profile
You have excellent communication skills, which you use to collaborate with colleagues. You use your time effectively, make considered assessments of project complexity, and respect others who do the same
You love designing, writing, testing, and debugging maintainable software. You endeavour for well-thought-out solutions
You believe there is more value in working as a team than in the sum of singular contributions, and that everyone is accountable for a quality product
You are willing, able, and inspired to learn new things. You are not afraid to admit you don’t know something
You are excited about (and maybe even have experience) mentoring others
Position Expectations
Understand and improve the current functionality of WiredTiger
Make design and coding contributions to the team's projects covering new features and architecture improvements
Work with other engineers to coordinate seamless changes in a feature-rich, large codebase
Estimate task complexity and report progress and risks to peers and managers
Plan and implement a small-to-medium complexity project and identify when the work needs to be broken down into smaller parts.
Fix code defects and work with support to diagnose and remediate customer issues
Adapt and adhere to the team norms and the company's core values
Success Measures
In the first month, you will understand the high-level architecture of WiredTiger
In three months, you will actively engage in code review for changes from your peers and will investigate and resolve issues reported by customers or found in testing
In six months, you will contribute to the development of a project slated for the next release of MongoDB and participate in the design review for new features
In twelve months, you are influencing the development of a new feature and are helping to mentor new engineers on the team
To drive the personal growth and business impact of our staff, we’re committed to developing a supportive and enriching culture for everyone. From staff affinity groups, to fertility assistance and a generous parental leave policy, we value our staff wellbeing and want to support them along every step of their professional and personal journeys. Learn more about what it’s like to work at MongoDB, and help us make an impact on the world!
MongoDB is focused on providing any necessary accommodations for people with disabilities within our application and interview process. To request an accommodation due to a disability, please inform your recruiter.
