The Enterprise Advanced team is a diverse group of individuals across Europe and India, who develop software to run MongoDB on any type of infrastructure at global scale. Our software and services allow users to deploy fault-tolerant, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in minutes. The main focus of this department is to adapt our software to manage MongoDB clusters which are deployed in data centers or private and hybrid cloud platforms.

The Backup Team delivers essential infrastructure to help our customers in their hour of need - providing the ability to quickly restore a massive, distributed database to any point in time at the click of a button. The Backup Team’s mission is to make MongoDB backup more reliable, faster, and also cheaper.  This team is responsible for the Backup Agent (Go), the extensive server-side infrastructure (Java) which manages 100s of TB of data and processes billions of operations per day, and the user interface (Javascript)  that customers use to manage their backups. Common project themes are performance, scaling, and ease of use.

Responsibilities

  • Hold yourself accountable to your actions, maintaining the balance between accomplishing goals with research & development
