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 worldwide data management software market is massive (IDC forecasts it to be $153 billion by 2027!). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading developer data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

The MongoDB Query Execution Team is hiring software engineers who want to join us in developing a fast and modular distributed query system. Our engineers work on implementing and maintaining execution algorithms, building new query language features, tuning database performance, and more to help power our customers’ critical workloads.

This role can be based out of one of our US or Canada offices, or remotely in North America.

  • B.Sc. in Computer Science or similar field, or equivalent practical experience

  • Interest in the theory and practice of database query engines. Hands-on experience or M.Sc./Ph.D in the domain is a plus

Position Expectations

  • Understand and improve current functionality of the MongoDB query engine
  • Contribute high quality C++ code and give and solicit feedback in code reviews
  • Identify, design, implement, test, and support new features related to query performance and robustness, query language enhancements, diagnostics for query performance problems, and integration with other products and tools
  • Work constructively with peers to deliver excellent technical solutions

Success Measures

  • In three months you’ll have contributed to the development of a project slated for the next major version, as well as fixed a few bugs in a minor version of our latest stable release series
  • In six months, you’ll have taken on code review responsibilities and are independently delivering complex functionality and squashing bugs independently
