The MongoDB Documentation team is a diverse group of writers and engineers who develop and maintain the documentation for the MongoDB Product family. Our goal is to help our readers successfully use MongoDB products by providing outstanding documentation. The MongoDB Documentation team is a part of the MongoDB Engineering organization and is tightly integrated with the engineering teams responsible for each product.

Team

The Server Documentation Team is responsible for the MongoDB Server and its related tools across multiple versions of the product. We regularly tackle topics such as the server API, backups and restoration, creating deployments with enterprise-grade security, and managing high availability and scalability in MongoDB clusters.

  • Experience with distributed systems and/or security technologies (e.g. encryption) and authentication protocols (e.g. LDAP)
  • Strong critical reading and writing fundamentals
  • Experience with database technologies (NoSQL or RDBMS, MVCC)
  • Experience with a programming language (e.g., C++, C#, Java, Python, JavaScript)
  • Experienced with testing and validating documentable features and concepts

  • Work with technical and non-technical teams to meet the documentation needs of our users
  • Research highly complex product features and validate with diligent testing
