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. About our Products The Atlas Data Federation service creates virtual databases that enables customers to query, transform, and analyze data across multiple sources (MongoDB clusters and cloud object storage) through a unified MongoDB query interface, without moving or copying the underlying data. We handle hundreds of millions of queries per month, processing exabytes of customer data. The Atlas Online Archive service provides low-cost, tiered storage for querying infrequently-accessed, read-only data. By optimizing the storage layout for customer data during ingestion and rebalancing it as needed, Online Archive delivers great performance and scalability at reasonable cost for Atlas customers. We manage petabytes of customer data and have a steep growth trajectory.
