Software Engineer, Catalog and Routing

Who you are

You have a strong background in writing, testing, and maintaining distributed and concurrent software systems — your experience has equipped you with a solid understanding of the complexities involved in building scalable applications. You are proficient in imperative programming and object-oriented languages, preferably C/C++, and are eager to learn new languages as needed. Your programming and debugging skills are complemented by a strong grip on computer science fundamentals, allowing you to tackle challenging technical problems effectively. While professional or advanced academic expertise in distributed systems and databases is preferable, it is not strictly required. You possess excellent verbal and written technical communication skills, and you enjoy collaborating with colleagues and mentoring interns, fostering a supportive team environment.

What you'll do

As a Software Engineer on the Catalog and Routing team at MongoDB, you will play a crucial role in simplifying the complexities of building a distributed database system. Your work will involve implementing scalable interfaces that ensure strong consistency guarantees, which are essential for other MongoDB developers to effectively navigate and organize user data. You will contribute to recent initiatives, such as enabling the movement of unpartitionable data sets across multiple nodes without splitting a table’s keyspace and colocating cluster services to reduce resource consumption and operational complexity. Your responsibilities will include collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and develop features that enhance the productivity of the organization and support MongoDB’s horizontal scaling strategy. You will also be involved in debugging and optimizing existing systems, ensuring they meet performance and reliability standards. Your contributions will have a direct impact on the success of MongoDB's products and services, making this a highly rewarding position.
