Atlas Stream Processing enables developers to continuously process streaming data alongside critical application data stored in their database. It builds on MongoDB’s integrated developer data platform, so developers can stand up a stream processor and database with just a few API calls and lines of code, all fully managed. Our product is quickly gaining traction, and we are adding core features that you will contribute to and own.
The team owns the C++ stream processing engine that powers Atlas Stream Processing, built on top of MongoDB's Aggregation Framework. The team operates like a startup within the company, a small group with real autonomy, responsible for everything from the core execution engine and stream processing stages. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and evolve this execution engine.

With offices worldwide and over 67,000 customers, including AI-native startups and approximately 75% of the Fortune 100, relying on MongoDB for their most important applications, we’re powering the next era of software.

MongoDB assigns one of four working models per role: In-Office, Flexible, Fully Remote, or Customer-Facing Remote, so remote eligibility is role-specific rather than company-wide. Most current openings are hybrid: of roughly 400 active roles, only about 27 are fully remote. Confirm the working model on the specific job before applying.
MongoDB has offices in more than a dozen cities, including New York (its headquarters), San Francisco, Palo Alto, Austin, London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Dublin, Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, Gurugram, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo. Active hiring spans more than 20 countries, concentrated in New York, Dublin, and Gurugram.
Compensation is geo-based, calibrated to the local market for each role. Equity is granted as RSUs that vest over four years (25% after the first year, then 6.25% each quarter), and employees can buy shares through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a 15% discount. Median total compensation sits around 217K USD.
Alongside medical, dental, and vision coverage, MongoDB offers unlimited PTO, paid parental leave for all caregiver designations, fertility, adoption, and gender-affirming care support, FSA and HSA options, and a learning-and-development budget with defined IC and management career pathways. Wellness perks are quantified at roughly 7,493 USD per year.
MongoDB is candid about intensity. Work-life balance is a recognized weak spot, with around half of employees reporting burnout, and the cadence is widely described as fast or extremely fast. It tends to suit people who thrive on high-growth momentum more than those seeking a steadier rhythm.
MongoDB fits developers and go-to-market professionals who want to work on a database platform at public-company scale with a broad, self-built product surface spanning Atlas, Vector Search, Stream Processing, Compass, and Charts. Sales roles see top-quartile quota attainment, and professional development ranks among the strongest in software.
