Join to apply for the Software Engineer, Catalog and Routing role at MongoDB
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.
The MongoDB Catalog and Routing team carries the important responsibility of hiding the complexity of building a distributed database system. They implement scalable interfaces with strong consistency guarantees which are used by other MongoDB developers to navigate and organize user data.
Recent work includes the ability to move unpartitionable data sets across multiple nodes without splitting a table’s keyspace, colocating cluster service in the same process in order to reduce resources consumption and operational complexity of running a sharded cluster, and the ability to perform concurrent data definition operations.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.
