Join the MongoDB Networking & Observability team and help build the core of a distributed database! Our team focuses on creating and enhancing components which facilitate communication between distributed processes and make these processes, and their communication, easily observable. Networking Observability’s responsibilities include improving MongoDB networking, improving the efficiency of resource utilization, and building low-overhead observability features.

Our team includes engineers located in New York City and fully remote engineers. We operate close to the bottom of the stack, and have a lot of influence over the availability, performance, and robustness of our open source database.
