Senior Software Engineer, Atlas Growth

The Team

Atlas Growth is a cloud engineering group whose mission is to guide customers through their app development journey—from cluster configuration, data modeling and load testing, to running a production workload at scale. We use an in-house experiments platform which helps us validate our features quickly, releasing only the work that positively impacts our customers. Our engineers participate in cross-functional “squads” with product, design, analytics, and research focusing on a single metric (e.g. retention). Our engineering team is part of a larger Atlas Core Engineering org, building foundational elements of MongoDB’s developer data platform.

Atlas Growth 2 builds customer-facing features in Atlas and sits alongside other Growth engineering teams. Recent projects include a personalized landing page for Atlas, a recommendation system that offers tips for better database performance, and a pricing page designed to optimize conversion rates.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.
