About the Cloud Payments team

Cloud Payments is part of the Cloud Billing organization. As MongoDB’s Cloud business grows, the billing and payments stack becomes increasingly mission‑critical. Our team:

• Ingests and aggregates detailed metering and usage data from internal services and major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Calculates and generates daily customer bills for millions of customers worldwide
• Integrates with payment processors and internal financial systems to support Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Accounting
• Continuously improves customer-facing billing and payments experiences and the reliability and scalability of our backend systems

We’re a group of engineers who care deeply about code quality, correctness, and observability, and who are comfortable collaborating with both highly technical partners and non-technical stakeholders across the business.

The role

We’re looking for a Software Engineer 3 to help design, build, and operate the services that power Cloud Payments. You’ll work primarily in the JVM ecosystem (Java and related tooling), with a focus on large-scale, distributed systems that have to be correct, resilient, and auditable.

This is a Canada-based, fully remote role. You’ll collaborate closely with teammates and stakeholders across North America time zones, including engineers in the broader Cloud Billing organization.

What you’ll do

In this role, you will:

• Design, implement, and operate backend services that ingest, process, and reconcile large volumes of usage and billing data from internal and external systems
• Collaborate with product, Finance, Revenue, and other engineering teams to evolve our billing and payments capabilities and improve customer experience
• Own features end‑to‑end: requirements, design, implementation, testing, rollout, monitoring, and iterative improvement
• Help scale and harden our systems as Atlas and our broader Cloud business continue to grow rapidly
• Participate in architecture discussions, technical design reviews, and code reviews to keep our systems robust and maintainable
• Contribute to improving our tooling, observability, and development workflows so the whole team can move faster and safer
• Take part in an on‑call rotation that treats reliability as a team sport, not an individual burden

What we’re looking for

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have 3+ years of experience building and maintaining backend systems in a compiled language, ideally Java
• Understand core object‑oriented design principles and how to apply them to complex, evolving systems
• Have experience with distributed systems and services that need to be highly available, observable, and correct at scale
• Are comfortable working with databases (relational and/or non‑relational such as MongoDB) in production environments
• Communicate clearly and enjoy working with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders across multiple teams
• Are curious, collaborative, and motivated by solving real customer and business problems rather than just closing tickets

Nice to have (but not required):

• Experience with billing, payments, or other financial systems where correctness, auditability, and compliance really matter
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern communication protocols like gRPC
• Familiarity with data-intensive applications, data pipelines, or data lakes
• Exposure to working with I/O frameworks like Reactor
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
• Prior exposure to MongoDB as a developer or operator

We don’t expect you to check every box. If you’re excited about the space and think you could do great work here, we’d love to hear from you.

Working model & location

• Location: Canada
• Working model: Fully remote, with colleagues primarily across North American time zones

How we’ll support you

MongoDB is committed to building a supportive, inclusive, and growth‑oriented environment for everyone on the team. Our approach to benefits and working models is designed to support your physical, emotional, financial, and family well‑being, and to give you flexibility in how you do your best work.

You’ll have opportunities to:

• Work on complex, meaningful projects that directly impact MongoDB’s Cloud business
• Learn from and collaborate with experienced engineers across Cloud Billing and other parts of MongoDB
• Grow your career through mentorship, feedback, and stretch projects aligned with your interests
