Join and be a part of leading the MongoDB Networking Observability team, helping build the core of a distributed database! Our team focuses on creating and enhancing components which facilitate communication between cooperating distributed processes and make these processes, and their communication, easily observable. Networking Observabilitys responsibilities include improving MongoDB networking, improving the efficiency of resource utilization and building low-overhead observability features.

Our team currently consists of six engineers, some located in New York City and some fully remote. We operate close to the bottom of the stack, and have a lot of influence over the performance and robustness of our open source database as well as the development efficiency of the engineering team overall. Recently weve worked on POCs and performance tests for new architectural directions in our networking stack, and are integrating OpenTelemetry to accelerate investigation of issues or performance bottlenecks in our tests.

Are you excited to help the MongoDB engineering team build a better database? We are! Join us today, and we can build a faster, more reliable, exceptionally observable, database system together.

Note: This role can be based out of our NYC office or remotely from anywhere in North America.
