The worldwide data management software market is massive (According to IDC, the worldwide database software market, which it refers to as the database management systems software market, was forecasted to be approximately $82 billion in 2023 growing to approximately $137 billion in 2027. This represents a 14% compound annual growth rate). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading developer data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

The Data Pipelines Engineering team is responsible for building ETL pipelines that populate the Internal Data Platform, which drives analytics that help the company run more efficiently. Our team builds highly performant and scalable processes that extract massive datasets and makes those datasets available for querying in an optimal way. We are also building a Generative AI framework that will help teams within the company tap into the data that we store in their Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based applications.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in New York City for our hybrid working model.

What you’ll do:

• Innovate strategies for building AI tools, including how to optimally chunk and retrieve RAG-based data and which LLMs are best suited to support use cases
• Stay abreast of industry trends in the AI space, and evaluate and incorporate new concepts/tools into MongoDB’s internal AI architecture
• Understand the dangers that come with chatbots, and build guardrails that prevent those dangers from occurring
• Build solutions that evaluate the content returned by AI tools using a variety of frameworks, and use the evaluation results to prevent hallucinations
• Work with Security and Compliance teams to ensure that datasets have appropriate permissions and regulations in place
• Work with our Data Platform, Architecture, and Governance sibling teams to make data scalable, consumable, and discoverable

We’re looking for someone with:

• 1+ years building AI and RAG-based applications
• 3+ years building ML models
• 5+ years of Python experience
• Hive, Iceberg, Glue, or other technologies that expose big data as tables
• Familiarity with different big data file types such as Parquet, Avro, and JSON
• 1+ years of Spark experience (nice-to-have)
• 5+ years of building ETL pipelines for a Data Lake/Warehouse (nice-to-have)

Success Measures:

• In 3 months, you'll have a thorough understanding of the architecture of MongoDB’s internal Data and AI ecosystem
• In 6 months, you'll have owned the delivery of a large project from start (scoping, design) to finish (delivery)
• In 12 months, you'll have designed new features, led development work, and become a go-to expert on parts of the system
