Senior Software Engineer, C2C Tooling

The Cluster to Cluster Synchronization team is working to make migrations, backups, and disaster recovery of MongoDB clusters easy and reliable. Our main focus is mongosync, a tool to synchronize two MongoDB clusters. This tool is a top priority for the company, and is used to migrate customers from on-prem MongoDB to MongoDB's cloud service, MongoDB Atlas.

Our team champions a strong culture of inclusivity and collaboration. If you want to work on a collaborative team that’s creating a high-performance distributed service for syncing databases, this is the team for you!

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.

Responsibilities

• Build mongosync, a database migration and syncing tool. This tool is heavily used by MongoDB Atlas (our Database-as-a-Service), as well as by on-prem customers
• Develop the MongoDB Database Tools, a set of CLI utilities for working with a MongoDB deployment. It includes tools for importing, exporting, and diagnostics
• Work closely with product, support, and engineers across the organization to collectively build features that our customers love
• Mentor and contribute to the growth of team members

Candidate Profile

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, testing, and maintaining industrial-strength software
• Experience with building databases or core components for data processing systems
• Experience with distributed systems such as data replication, distributed transactions, scalability, and fault tolerance
• Experience in at least one compiled language, and interest in working with Go
• Excellent verbal and written technical communication skills and a desire to collaborate with colleagues and mentor junior engineers
• Curiosity, willingness, and ability to quickly learn new things in the domains of computer science and software engineering

Success Measures

• In three months you’ll have learned about how MongoDB and mongosync works. You’ll have contributed to an ongoing project and fixed a few bugs in existing code
• In six months, you’ll be reviewing code and new feature designs. You're involved in the design and implementation of a major project, and leading development of smaller features
• In twelve months, you’re leading the design and development of major new features and are helping to mentor new engineers on the team. You have strong familiarity with the products the team owns and are able to work across the codebase
