The worldwide data management software market is massive (According to IDC, the worldwide database software market, which it refers to as the database management systems software market, was forecasted to be approximately $82 billion in 2023 growing to approximately $137 billion in 2027. This represents a 14% compound annual growth rate). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading developer data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

Infrastructure Engineer

The Infrastructure Engineering team is responsible for building and maintaining a self-service internal development platform that enables MongoDB engineering teams to reliably deploy and operate their own production services and products. We work with numerous engineering teams across the company to understand their infrastructure requirements and development workflows, develop broadly applicable self-service platform services and tooling, continuously monitor how platform services are being utilized, and look for ways to improve developer productivity through automation and education.

We are big open source enthusiasts and use a number of open source tools in our stack (contributing upstream whenever possible). Some of the tools we use regularly include Go, AWS, Kubernetes, Crossplane, Terraform, Helm, Drone, Prometheus, and Grafana. However, technology is nothing without a stellar team of engineers that are focused on doing high quality work and working as a team to solve complex distributed computing and platform engineering problems. This is where you come in!

Our ideal candidate:

Pragmatic, detail-oriented, self-motivated, and understands the benefits of collaboration
Takes a software-driven approach to solving problems and routinely uses git to track progress
Familiar with software engineering principles, dependency injection, composition, and test driven development
Familiar with standard authentication protocols (e.g OAuth)
Familiar with the development of web services and/or Kubernetes controllers
Able to perform deep technical analysis and fix applications, systems, and networks
Strong Linux and TCP/IP networking skills
Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure
Experience with configuration management tools and managing infrastructure through code
Familiar with how to use CI/CD workflows and tooling to deploy production services
Experience running containers in a production environment

Position Expectations:

Work with engineering teams across MongoDB to investigate gaps and limitations in existing development workflows and understand new infrastructure and platform requirements
Design self-service platform services and developer tooling that focuses on reliability, usability, and provides the appropriate level of abstraction from cloud infrastructure
Regularly write and review automation, configuration management, and application code
Author and review functional specifications and scoping documents for large platform projects and services
Own and operate much of the internal development platform that runs MongoDB
Work on a distributed team that frequently interacts with remote engineers across multiple time zones (primarily PST/EST/GMT)

Success Measures:

In three months you’ll have familiarized yourself with much of our environment and will be able to whiteboard important pieces of our platform on the fly. You will also be making regular contributions to our tooling/services and jumping in to help resolve incidents and respond to user requests
In six months you’ll have successfully investigated, scoped, executed, and documented a medium to large sized platform project
In a year you’ll have used your deep knowledge of our software and infrastructure to help drive platform adoption across the company. You will also be a subject matter expert in at least one component of our platform, and will have made a number of sizable contributions to our code base that significantly improve the quality, reliability and maintainability of our systems
