Technical Lead Manager - Atlas Data Federation & Archiving

About the Role

MongoDB is recruiting an Engineering Manager to join the Atlas Organization, which is responsible for our flagship database-as-a-service product, MongoDB Atlas. This platform empowers users to deploy secure, fault-tolerant, and globally distributed MongoDB clusters across AWS, Azure, and GCP swiftly. Our goal is to maintain high security, durability, availability, and performance for all MongoDB deployments.

The Atlas Data Federation & Archiving team develops key features that allow customers to migrate data between hot and cold storage and execute federated queries across multiple data sources. This team creates Atlas Data Federation, a scalable query engine enabling unified data queries across clusters and cloud storage, and Atlas Online Archive, which manages cold data storage with seamless query capabilities.

This newly formed team is based in Dublin, and the Engineering Manager will play a critical role in scaling and shaping the team. Candidates based in Cork who prefer hybrid or onsite work arrangements are especially encouraged to apply.
