Job description

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 industryleading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multicloud 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 nextgeneration, AIpowered applications.

Join the MongoDB Server Query Execution team, and help us build a worldclass distributed opensource database. Our team plays a crucial role in the performance and efficiency of MongoDBs data processing. We are responsible for building and improving the core execution engine that powers all queries, taking a logical query plan produced by the optimizer and turning it into reality. This includes developing the physical operators for data retrieval and manipulation, improving the runtime for complex analytical and transactional workloads, and owning critical components like the Change Streams infrastructure. In addition to the core server, we support the query execution needs of other major products like Atlas Streams, Atlas Search and Vector Search, and mongosync, making our work vital to the entire MongoDB ecosystem.

You will be joining a globally distributed team with a significant presence in both Europe and North America. While this role is based in the EMEA region, you will regularly collaborate closely with colleagues across different time zones. We support both officebased work in our European hubs like Dublin and Barcelona, as well as remote work in several countries (including the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, Germany, Spain, and France).

We have tons of interesting problems to solve with a direct impact on users for transactional, timeseries, and analytical workloads. To meet the everincreasing data demands of modern applications, we are actively evolving our query system; this includes strategically rearchitecting and improving key components of our query execution engine. We need your help to design and build the core of a distributed, flexible schema document database.

This role will be based remotely in the Netherlands.
