Staff Engineer

MongoDB'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, MongoDB 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 MongoDB every month, it's no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

Atlas Search is a cloud service that allows users to execute text and vector search queries using the MongoDB Query Language. Our users are free to focus on relevance and data retrieval instead of the machinery needed to search data at scale.

Join a new upcoming team responsible for designing and building features that drive adoption of the Atlas Search for AI workloads. The team will be developing scalable services to deliver ML capabilities like embedding, data processing to build RAG and Chat applications on top of MongoDB.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in the San Francisco Bay Area for our hybrid working model.
