Senior Software Engineer, Identity & Access Management (FedRamp)

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 Senior 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.

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a US government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Our FedRAMP program requires that anyone who is accessing customer data or metadata inside the Authorization Boundary be a US Citizen on US Soil.
