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 MongoDB Cloud Services Team is a diverse group of contributors working together to help our users manage MongoDB at global scale. The Cloud Team is responsible for MongoDB Atlas: our database as a service offering and fastest growing product which allows users to deploy fault-tolerant, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in just minutes.

The Cloud Automation Team builds the software platform that makes it simple for users to configure, deploy, and manage their MongoDB deployments at scale. This software system provides the MongoDB cluster orchestration behind MongoDB Atlas, our MongoDB database as a service offering, as well as for on-premise deployments with thousands of nodes at some of the largest Fortune 500 enterprises. The team also closely collaborates with other teams to build high-throughput servers that enable our Atlas Serverless offering. And just like MongoDB itself, our software must be designed to be fault-tolerant, secure, and globally distributed. As an engineer on the team you'll work across the product stack, from ensuring our user interactions experiences are clean and intuitive, down to working within the distributed machinery needed to make operating sharded clusters a breeze.
