Lead Engineer, Atlas Data Federation (Storage) - job 1 of 2

The worldwide data management software market is massive (IDC forecasts it to be $138 billion by 2026!). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading modern data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

Atlas Data Lake (ADL) is a fully managed storage solution supporting large-scale analytics while maintaining the economics of cloud object storage. It automatically extracts data from MongoDB Atlas Clusters to isolate analytical workloads, allowing data scientists and business analysts to query analytical data without impacting production systems. It is also the foundation for Atlas Online Archive, which provides low-cost, tiered storage for querying infrequently-accessed data. By optimizing the storage layout for customer data during ingestion and rebalancing it as needed, Atlas Data Lake delivers great performance and scalability at reasonable cost for Atlas customers.
