MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build anywhere—on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 developers joining MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.
The Build Team supports build systems for the entire MongoDB engineering organization. This includes implementing and maintaining our Bazel build system, for both the database server, Mongo Cloud (“Atlas”), as well as a suite of other products. These build systems handle a variety of languages (primarily C++, Java and Go), and provide not just compilation, but packaging and distribution. Most MongoDB engineers rely on these tools for their daily work. In addition to developing new build-related capabilities, the Build team provides ongoing support for our 750+ internal engineers.
We are looking for an individual who has a deep empathy for engineering teams, cares strongly about quality code, and effectively scaling development. Specifically if you are passionate about reducing build times, reducing continuous integration times, and working to improve developer satisfaction - this role is for you!
