Job Description
The Team
MongoDB’s Storage Layer Services (SLS) team is re-architecting the MongoDB cloud storage layer and sits at the heart of our next-generation cloud storage architecture. This relatively new team is building performant, multi-tenant distributed storage services that both enhance today’s Atlas storage stack and enable more customer workloads to run more efficiently.
You will partner with the teams building these storage services to define SLOs, shape capacity plans, and ensure the reliability, durability, and operational safety of the storage layer that underpins Atlas. You’ll join a small, senior team of SREs as founding members of this organization, playing a crucial role in executing on a multi-year roadmap for MongoDB’s cloud storage architecture.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.
The ideal candidate should
Have 6+ years of experience working on software development and operating distributed systems
Proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar language
Have operated or supported stateful storage or database systems at scale, and are comfortable with durability, consistency, and recovery trade-offs.

Value efficiency in processes and operations
Prefer automation over manual processes. We are a small team of software engineers with a strong bias towards software solutions to avoid toil

Expertise in cloud infrastructure platforms, including AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or Azure
