What Mongodb is looking for in applicants

The database market is massive (the IDC estimates it to be $119B+ by 2025!) and MongoDB is at the head of its disruption. The MongoDB community is 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.

MongoDB Atlas is the global cloud database service for modern applications.  Atlas allows customers to deploy a fully managed, distributed database across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure simultaneously.  We are the first major cloud database to make this capability generally available and with it we have solidified our standing as a leader in the cloud database market.  

The Atlas Search team is building the best search experience for developers on the MongoDB platform.  Atlas Search is an embedded full-text search in MongoDB Atlas that gives you a seamless, scalable experience for building relevance-based app features. Built on Apache Lucene, Atlas Search eliminates the need to run a separate search system alongside your database.
