Staff Engineer

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.

MongoDB Search and Vector Search allows users to execute complex search queries and build RAG applications using the MongoDB Query Language. Our users are free to focus on relevance and data retrieval instead of the machinery needed to search data at scale.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Toronto for our hybrid working model.

  • Advise management on decisions related to roadmap, processes, architecture and design
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and engineering teams across the company to jointly work on large initiatives
  • Influence and grow team members through active mentoring, coaching and leading by example
  • Help cultivate a strong talent bench through interviewing, mentoring and knowledge sharing
