Software Engineer 3, Atlas Search Systems

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.

Atlas Search is a multi-cloud service that allows users to execute complex full text and vector search queries using the MongoDB Query Language. Our users are free to focus on relevance and data retrieval instead of the machinery needed to search data at scale.

Our team builds and maintains the instances and supporting infrastructure powering Atlas Search. This platform deploys and monitors search deployments, providing a highly scalable yet observable system for customers and engineers. The Atlas Search product is quickly gaining traction with customers and we are shipping core infrastructure components that enable this growth.
