The Build Team supports build systems for the entire MongoDB engineering organization. This includes implementing and maintaining our Bazel build system, for both the database server, Mongo Cloud (“Atlas”), as well as a suite of other products. These build systems handle a variety of languages (primarily C++, Java and Go), and provide not just compilation, but packaging and distribution.
