Senior Software Engineer, Atlas Search Systems at MongoDB

This role is ideal for a Senior Backend Engineer with at least 5 years of experience who thrives on building complex infrastructure. You should have a deep interest in distributed systems and cloud services, specifically focusing on the "heavy lifting" of data—ingestion, indexing, and partitioning. While the team is open to various backgrounds, you should be ready to work primarily in Java. The position offers a broad salary range ($126k–$248k) depending on experience, plus competitive tech benefits like equity and 20 weeks of parental leave. Based in NYC, this is a hybrid role that balances in-person collaboration with the technical ownership of a core product that serves some of the largest workloads in the cloud. Success here is measured by your ability to lead projects and influence the system architecture within your first year. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have expert-level experience building and scaling industrial-strength backend services. * Are passionate about distributed systems and "under-the-hood" performance tuning. * Enjoy a high degree of ownership, from initial design through to production maintenance. * Want to mentor other engineers and contribute to a team's long-term technical roadmap.
