What Mongodb is looking for in applicants

The database market is massive (IDC estimates it to be $121B+ by 2025!) and MongoDB is at the head of its disruption. 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.

The Cloud API eXperience team is part of MongoDB Cloud Services, a diverse group of individuals who develops the capabilities to run MongoDB globally (see MongoDB Atlas). Our software and services allow users to deploy fault-tolerant, scalable, globally distributed MongoDB clusters in minutes.

APIx team’s mission is to craft delightful experiences for developers of all levels onboarding and working with MongoDB.

We are looking for passionate, intrinsically-motivated software engineers who consistently work to grow their skills and want to take their careers to the next level.

We pride ourselves on our team's culture and on being an inclusive and collaborative group that Builds Together.

  • A high level of independence in your day-to-day work. Propose innovative solutions to existing problems and own the delivery from start to finish.

  • You'll be joining a good-humoured encouraging team that deeply cares about its culture and wants to combine work and fun!
  • Upon joining, you will have the opportunity to learn everything there is to know about MongoDB via specialised training on the MongoDB University platform and highly supportive colleagues.

You should apply if you meet one or more of the following criteria.
