MongoDB Search and Vector Search allows users to execute complex search queries and build RAG applications 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.

  • Excellent verbal and written technical communication skills; enthusiasm for collaborating closely with colleagues and mentoring other engineers
  • A growth mindset and the desire to learn quickly through taking on challenges, reflecting on outcomes, and incorporating feedback
  • A strong sense of ownership over their work, from initial design all the way through maintaining code in production

You will:

  • Build and design our integrated search platform, written in Java
  • Work with a collaborative team that prioritizes sound technical decision-making and building systems that our customers love and that we are proud of as engineers
  • Lead projects and own subsystems
  • Help determine the team’s roadmap and the architecture of our system

Success measures:

  • In 3 months you’ll have contributed to the development of an existing project and completed several improvements or bug fixes
  • In 6 months you’ll be reviewing code and project designs, and be an active participant in team meetings
