Senior Software Engineer, Database Integration & Observability

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Database Integration & Observability team, you will drive core initiatives across three key areas:

• Ecosystem Integrations: Seamlessly connect the MongoDB database with key ecosystem products, including Search, Vector Search, Atlas Stream Processing, and Atlas Data Federation
• Change Data Capture & Streaming: Enhance and scale our Change Streams product, enabling real-time event tracking and data synchronization across downstream systems.
• Database Observability: Build advanced diagnostics, query shape statistics, logging systems, and process-level metrics to deliver deep operational insights

Our core services are built primarily in modern C++, though prior professional C++ experience is not required if you possess strong systems programming fundamentals. Our testing and automation infrastructure utilizes JavaScript and Python.

This role can be based out of one of our US offices or remotely in the United States.
