Are you "Bay Area Talent" but ready to rebalance your life? Your $300k salary in SF does not buy you as much as you thought - how about those 16hr days working for some brogrammer or 2hr BART commutes to/from your apartment in the East Bay? Ready to move somewhere with a fresh scene? Austin, Portland, or go home to the midwest? - maybe even Phoenix AZ? For the right candidate we will help you relocate to an area with a more sane cost of living which combined with our salary and benefits package will have you enjoying a higher standard of living.

Our Engineering team is based in the thriving warehouse district of downtown Phoenix. Come join us.. it's not that hot. Okay thats a lie - it can get really hot. But you'll be able to afford a 3600sqft house with a pool and plenty of AC - and only be asked to commute to the engineering office (Galvanize PHX) 1-2 days a week as we are a fully remote team.

Relocating to PHX is not required, but helpful.

Job Description

Responsibilities

Code for Humans

Your machine is happy if it compiles; your team is happy if they can understand what it does. Your pull requests are succinct and a pleasure to review, you have unit tests where it matters, and you understand that the code is not, in fact, the documentation.

Reliable & Resilient Software Not for you the happy path or the assumed network. That habit of yours of assuming the worst and planning for it has earned your stripes in the world of running software at scale under real-world conditions.

Tools for the Team
Whether it's a smart command line utility or a core internal library, you excel at improving everyone's lives by removing repetition & common sources of error, and by solving hard problems in accessible ways. You build internal processes that are so reliable they melt into the background but are key to getting work done.

APIs
You've been on the receiving end of APIs good and bad, and want to delight our customers with the high quality they expect. You know that whilst everything should be JSON, sometimes you have to get your hands dirty with some SOAP for that critical integration but know how to isolate the contagion.

Requirements

• Senior Backend Experience/Knowledge of
  
• Go, Java, Python or C
  
• AWS or GCP
  
• Docker, Linux
  
• NoSQL/Cassandra (not including Mongo & Redis)

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.

Job Description

A great MongoDB experience starts with great tools.

The Drivers team builds the libraries and tools that developers use day-to-day working with MongoDB. Our mission is to increase developer adoption, satisfaction and retention by providing a reliable, enjoyable interface for developers and other end-users.

For this role, we're looking for someone who enjoys designing, writing, and supporting Open Source libraries and standalone tools for developers and administrators using MongoDB.

You might be right for this role if you...

• Have substantial, demonstrable experience writing high-quality software
• Have used Go before or would love to learn it and use it in your day-to-day work
• Are fascinated with concurrency, parallelism and distributed systems
• Want to participate in Open Source software development and communities
• Communicate well, internally and externally, both in writing and face-to-face
• Are excited by our mission and values

You'll be on a team responsible for...

• The MongoDB Go Driver, currently under active development
• The command line utilities that ship with the MongoDB server, including performance optimizations as our customers deal with ever-larger data sets
• The mongomirror tool, a utility for migrating data from an existing MongoDB replica set to MongoDB Atlas (our cloud Database-as-a-Service)
• Testing, delivering and supporting the above list across multiple operating systems and versions of MongoDB

You'll have responsibilities beyond just code, including...

• Working with our Product and Server teams on designs and specifications for new customer-facing MongoDB features
• Investigating bugs and support requests from commercial and Open Source customers for the libraries and tools our team maintains
• Seeking out speaking or writing opportunities to evangelize to developer communities

Success in this role means...

• Within three months, you'll know most of the codebase you are responsible for and will be contributing effectively day-to-day fixing bugs, implementing already-planned features and doing peer code-review
• Within six months, you'll have implemented several major, planned new features in the driver or tools; you'll be able to respond effectively to technical support escalations for the codebases you know best; you'll have the trust of the team and our internal customers
• Within a year, you'll have delivered several new releases of our software, will have significantly improved the quality, performance and maintainability of our codebase, and will be able to independently scope and design new features of moderate complexity
