Senior Software Engineer, Cluster to Cluster Synchronization, Migration Tooling

The Cluster to Cluster Synchronization team at MongoDB is working on making migrations, backups, and disaster recovery of MongoDB clusters easy and reliable. The team's main focus is mongosync, a tool to synchronize two MongoDB clusters, which is a top priority for the company and used to migrate customers from on-prem MongoDB to MongoDB's cloud service, MongoDB Atlas.

The team champions a strong culture of inclusivity and collaboration. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will work on a collaborative team that's creating a high-performance distributed service for syncing databases.

Responsibilities

• Build mongosync, a database migration and syncing tool heavily used by MongoDB Atlas and on-prem customers.
• Develop the MongoDB Database Tools, a set of CLI utilities for working with a MongoDB deployment, including tools for importing, exporting, and diagnostics.
• Work closely with product, support, and engineers across the organization to collectively build features that customers love.
• Mentor and contribute to the growth of team members.

Candidate Profile

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and maintaining industrial-strength software.
• Experience with building databases or core components for data processing systems.
• Experience with distributed systems such as data replication, distributed transactions, scalability, and fault tolerance.
• Experience in at least one compiled language, and interest in working with Go.
• Excellent verbal and written technical communication skills and a desire to collaborate with colleagues and mentor junior engineers.
• Curiosity, willingness, and ability to quickly learn new things in the domains of computer science and software engineering.

Success Measures

• In three months, you'll have learned about how MongoDB and mongosync works, contributed to an ongoing project, and fixed a few bugs in existing code.
• In six months, you'll be reviewing code and new feature designs, involved in the design and implementation of a major project, and leading development of smaller features.
• In twelve months, you're leading the design and development of major new features, helping to mentor new engineers on the team, and have strong familiarity with the products the team owns and are able to work across the codebase.
