Software Engineer 3

We’re seeking a Software Engineer for the Atlas Stream Processing team to develop and improve the user and developer experience that GA’d in the summer of 2024. It enables processing streams of complex data using the same data model and Query API used in Atlas databases.

Atlas Stream Processing enables developers to continuously process streaming data alongside critical application data stored in their database. It builds upon MongoDB’s integrated developer data platform; enabling developers to stand up a stream processor and database with just a few API calls and lines of code, all fully managed on Atlas. Our product is quickly gaining traction with customers and we are adding core features that you will contribute to and own. You will help tackle complex user interactions across a variety of developer tools with the goal of making our platform easy to use.

We're looking to speak with candidates based in New York City for our hybrid working model.
