Software Engineer 3 at MongoDB

This role is ideal for a mid-level backend-leaning engineer with at least 3 years of experience who is ready to step into a leadership-lite capacity. You should have a strong command of compiled languages like Java or Go and a solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP). This position sits within the Atlas Clusters Security team, making it a great fit for those interested in high-scale distributed systems and cloud security. The compensation range is exceptionally wide ($109k–$215k), offering significant upside for high-performers. While the role is based in NYC with a hybrid model, it offers premium benefits like 20 weeks of gender-neutral parental leave and equity. A unique and critical requirement is that **you must be a US Citizen**, likely due to the sensitive nature of the security and infrastructure work. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are a US Citizen based in (or willing to relocate to) New York City. * Have experience building and maintaining large-scale distributed systems in Java or Go. * Feel comfortable jumping into the frontend (React/TypeScript) when necessary. * Enjoy a mix of heads-down coding, cross-functional design, and mentoring junior peers.
