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.

Our Database Experience (DBX) Team

The Database Experience team builds the libraries and tools that developers use day-to-day working with MongoDB. Our mission is to increase developer adoption, satisfaction and retention by providing a reliable, enjoyable interface for developers and other end-users.

For this role, we’re looking for someone who would enjoy designing, writing, and supporting open-source libraries using MongoDB. You will have the opportunity to work with other veteran Java programmers, as you deepen your knowledge of the Java ecosystem, and help streamline and increase the adoption of MongoDB.

This role is based in our Toronto or Vancouver offices or remotely in Canada.

You might be right for this role if you

  • Have 4+ years of experience writing high-quality software
  • Have experience implementing libraries or applications in Java, or other languages that run on the JVM
  • Are fascinated by, and have experience working with concurrency, parallelism and distributed systems
  • Want to participate in open-source software development and communities
  • Communicate well, internally and externally, both in writing and face-to-face
  • Advocate for testing and modern development best practices
  • Can make pragmatic design tradeoffs while balancing features, maintainability, and delivery time
  • Elevate the skills and expertise of those around you
  • Are excited by our mission and values

You’ll be on the team responsible for

  • Java driver, Java Reactive Streams Driver, Scala Driver, Kotlin Driver, Spark Connector, and other JVM-based projects
  • Integrations with other open-source software, such as ORM frameworks and AI tools
  • Testing, delivering and supporting the above across multiple operating systems, JDKs, and MongoDB releases

You’ll have responsibilities beyond writing code, including

  • Working with our Product, Server, Cloud, and other driver teams on designs and specifications for new customer-facing MongoDB features
  • Investigating bugs and support requests from commercial and open-source customers for the libraries and tools our team maintains
  • Seeking out speaking or writing opportunities to engage with our developer community
  • Mentoring junior engineers in both technical and non-technical professional skills

Success in this role means

  • Within three months, you will contribute effectively day-to-day, fix bugs, implement planned features, and thoroughly review your colleagues’ pull requests
  • Within six months, you will confidently lead projects, provide mentorship and technical guidance to colleagues, and contribute to process improvements
  • Within a year, you will demonstrate strong technical ownership, influence team and product growth through effective communication and collaboration, and contribute to high-impact product enhancements

To drive the personal growth and business impact of our employees, we’re committed to developing a supportive and enriching culture for everyone. From employee affinity groups, to fertility assistance and a generous parental leave policy, we value our employees’ wellbeing and want to support them along every step of their professional and personal journeys.
