MongoDB Lead Engineer Server Programmability

The SP team decides on cross-codebase guidelines and norms, and works to uphold and enforce them as early in the development process as possible. The SP team is a home for C++ expertise, open at all times to consulting with other engineers on the best way to build their features, and helping build the foundational building blocks that either require unusually deep C++ expertise, or are common to multiple components.

This role can be based out of our NYC office or remotely from anywhere in the United States.

• Manage a small team of individual contributors, responsible for ensuring their success, aiding their career growth, and facilitating their technical work
• Foster a positive and effective team culture
• Balance your time between coding, designing, mentorship, and leading your team
• Use agile practices to deliver features on a predictable schedule
• Maintain expertise on state of the art software technologies and best practices
• Aid Product Management in navigating difficult tradeoffs in prioritization
• Collaborate with other server engineers, client drivers, cloud services, support, consulting, training, and marketing teams to coordinate changes
• Identify, design, implement, test, and support new features related to networking, intra/inter-process communication, performance and observability in a large feature-rich C++ codebase
• Assist fellow engineers in, and be an advocate for, writing secure, robust, well-reasoned industrial-strength software
