MongoDB is looking for an outstanding person to join our newly created Forward Deployed Engineering team and take on a key role in our extended R&D organization. Forward Deployed Engineering is linking the work of teams engaged on application modernization roles with our Product and Engineering teams. We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model. Many organizations have built up large estates of legacy applications. Lack of scalability and resilience, long development times, operating cost, and inability to run on cloud are common issues with these applications. To address these issues, organizations are engaging in large transformational Application Modernisation programs. MongoDB is recognized as the developer data platform of choice for transactional systems that provide the best scalability, resiliency and developer experience in the cloud as well as on premises. Organizations are continuously migrating workloads from these legacy applications to new platforms, often based on microservices, using MongoDB. Such transformations are time intensive and often risky. Tooling based on generative AI promises to accelerate these transformations in a way never seen before. Forward Deployed Engineering is responsible for exploring the possibilities of Generative AI technologies and providing invaluable feedback to MongoDB’s R&D teams to drive future capabilities of MongoDB and the MongoDB ecosystem. Application Modernization Engineers will work alongside project teams that are executing Application Modernisation projects with customers. The successful candidate will be responsible for evaluation, build, and applying tools in modernization projects, facilitating the usage of such tools and processes across the different project teams, identifying opportunities for tooling deployment, selecting potential 3rd party tools, contributing to the development of tooling prototypes and helping to shape the produ

The MongoDB Query Execution Team is hiring software engineers who want to join us in developing a high performing, reliable 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 power our customers' critical workloads. This role can be based out of our Dublin office or remotely in Ireland. Relocation can be supported. 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 Candidate Profile 5+ years of experience in systems programming Experience in databases and/or data management systems is a huge plus, but not a requirement Hands-on experience building industrial-strength software Solid computer science fundamentals, with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms, and software design/architecture Experience with large code bases, preferably in C++, C, Rust or a similar compiled language 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 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 In twelve months, you’re leading the development of a new major feature and are h

The Team MongoDB’s Storage Layer Services (SLS) team is re-architecting the MongoDB cloud storage layer and sits at the heart of our next-generation cloud storage architecture. This relatively new team is building performant, multi-tenant distributed storage services that both enhance today’s Atlas storage stack and enable more customer workloads to run more efficiently. You will partner with the teams building these storage services to define SLOs, shape capacity plans, and ensure the reliability, durability, and operational safety of the storage layer that underpins Atlas. You’ll join a small, senior team of SREs as founding members of this organization, playing a crucial role in executing on a multi-year roadmap for MongoDB’s cloud storage architecture. This role can be based out of either our Dublin or Cork office or remotely in Ireland. The ideal candidate should Have 6+ years of experience working on software development and operating distributed systems Proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar language Have operated or supported stateful storage or database systems at scale, and are comfortable with durability, consistency, and recovery trade-offs.
