DB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, Mongo
DB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use Mongo

Join and be a part of leading the Mongo
DB Networking Observability team, helping build the core of a distributed database! Our team focuses on creating and enhancing components which facilitate communication between cooperating distributed processes and make these processes, and their communication, easily observable. Networking Observability’s responsibilities include improving Mongo
DB networking, improving the efficiency of resource utilization and building low-overhead observability features.
Our team currently consists of six engineers, some located in New York City and some fully remote. We operate close to the bottom of the stack, and have a lot of influence over the performance and robustness of our open source database as well as the development efficiency of the engineering team overall. Recently we’ve worked on POCs and performance tests for new architectural directions in our networking stack, and are integrating Open Telemetry to accelerate investigation of issues or performance bottlenecks in our tests.
