Senior Data Scientist

As Senior Data Scientist for Engineering Systems you will work independently alongside sharp, generous, and pragmatic engineers from Server Query, Atlas Clusters, and Release Quality, among other teams. Together, we tackle problems spanning resource scaling across the Atlas fleet, safe feature rollout to MongoDB clusters, automated incident response and query engine performance. Join the Platform Data Science team and help us research, prototype and ship machine learning features for MongoDB’s core server, query engine and Atlas, our database-as-a-service cloud offering.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin or Cork for our hybrid working model.
