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.
The MongoDB Atlas team is a diverse group of contributors working together to help our users manage MongoDB at global scale. We are responsible for MongoDB Atlas: our database as a service offering and fastest growing product which allows users to deploy fault-tolerant, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in just minutes.
We're seeking a Lead Engineer to join the Atlas Identity and Access Management (IAM) team. IAM is a platform and a product team. We serve internal engineers by providing them a secure and durable suite of services, and we serve external customers by providing them user facing features and products. We are the owners of Atlas’ authentication (OAuth, SSO, Federated Identity) and authorization (RBAC, ABAC) systems, along with many others. The IAM team’s mission is to enable customers to securely build their applications with Atlas through our best in class user experience.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Barcelona for our hybrid working model.
