Position Expectations:
Work with engineering teams across MongoDB to investigate gaps and limitations in existing development workflows and understand new infrastructure and platform requirements
Design self-service platform services and developer tooling that focuses on reliability, usability, and provides the appropriate level of abstraction from cloud infrastructure
Regularly write and review automation, configuration management, and application code
Author and review functional specifications and scoping documents for large platform projects and services
Own and operate much of the internal development platform that runs MongoDB
Work on a distributed team that frequently interacts with remote engineers across multiple time zones (primarily PST/EST/GMT)
Success Measures:
In three months you’ll have familiarized yourself with much of our environment and will be able to whiteboard important pieces of our platform on the fly. You will also be making regular contributions to our tooling/services and jumping in to help resolve incidents and respond to user requests
In six months you’ll have successfully investigated, scoped, executed, and documented a medium to large sized platform project
In a year you’ll have used your deep knowledge of our software and infrastructure to help drive platform adoption across the company. You will also be a subject matter expert in at least one component of our platform, and will have made a number of sizable contributions to our code base that significantly improve the quality, reliability and maintainability of our systems
