## Description

Join Cluster Scalability, one of MongoDB's Online Transaction Processing teams, and help build the core infrastructure that makes MongoDB a world-class distributed database.

As a Senior Software Engineer on Cluster Scalability, you'll work on data partitioning, one of the hardest and most impactful problem areas at MongoDB today. You'll collaboratively design and build the distributed machinery that turns independent query-processing and storage nodes into a single, unified database system.

Your team's work will be to build the data-movement and dynamic-scaling features that run on top of it. Current work includes seamless horizontal scaling with minimal tradeoffs, better cluster elasticity and smarter workload execution. You'll solve complex performance problems and design protocols for moving and placing data without disruption.

Your work will help the architecture scale reliably to meet customer demand at any volume.

## Responsibilities

- 5+ years of experience building distributed systems

- Experience with building production-level code with a large user base, robust design structure and rigorous code quality, written in C++

- Degree in Computer Science or similar field, or equivalent practical experience, with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms, and software design/architecture

- Passion for the theory and practice of system design for large-scale distributed systems, as well as hands-on or academic experience in the domain

- Understands modern computer architecture and internals to the degree that they can reason about how specific design choices play out in a system like MongoDB

- Has demonstrated industry success or academic research in areas such as:

- High performance / low latency networking

- Performance tuning

- Distributed systems

- System observability

- System resiliency

## Success Measures

- In your first month, you'll understand the high-level architecture of MongoDB, dive into the details of your team's components, and resolve a few bugs

- In the first three months, you'll contribute to the development of a project slated for the next release of MongoDB, take on code review responsibilities, and participate in design reviews for new features

- In the first six months, you'll lead the development of a new feature and help mentor new engineers on the team
