Senior Director, Engineering

We are seeking a Senior Director of Engineering to lead the development of our Observability Platform within MongoDB. This is a high-impact role where you will drive the technical vision, execution, and growth of a critical component in our ecosystem. You will be responsible for building and scaling a world-class team, shaping the future of internal and external Observability for Atlas, MongoDB’s cloud-managed solution.This is an opportunity to join a team that is responsible for all Observability systems that support metrics, metric visualization, logs, traces, and alerts for MongoDB. We are looking for a leader that is results focused, with high standards, and experience in leading large engineering teams in designing, building and operating complex distributed systems at scale, with strict SLO on security, durability, availability and performance.

Tens of thousands of customers depend on our Observability stack to monitor their database clusters and to generate actionable alerts to safeguard critical workloads. As MongoDB Atlas and its supporting infrastructure continue to experience rapid growth, the demand for high-cardinality observability data for internal and external use cases means we need to continually innovate and scale our systems to the next level. For example, MongoDB Observability systems need to handle 10’s of billions of metrics time series, all whilst processing petabytes of logs, traces, and events.

Our team champions a strong culture of inclusivity, diversity, and collaboration. If you want to be a deeply technical leader on a collaborative team that applies low-level systems expertise to build the foundational infrastructure of a popular database, join us!

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