The database market is massive (the IDC estimates it to be $106B+ by 2024!) and MongoDB is at the head of its disruption.

Who we are

MongoDB Realm is a serverless platform that enables developers so they can build better applications faster.  We handle this by managing the complexities of the backend for the developer.  This allows the developer a seamless interaction with their MongoDB Atlas cluster. By joining the Realm team, you would have ample opportunity to tackle the challenges surrounding a backend as a service product. Realm is backed by a powerful, easy-to-use rule system, and includes features such as serverless functions, database triggers, and Realm Sync.

The Realm Cloud Core team owns the Realm backend, frontend, and CLI. This includes API development, as well as the admin front-end and CLI tool used to edit Realm apps. Members of the team are passionate about API design and making developers' lives easier and more efficient. The technologies the team works with are Go and Modern JavaScript (ES6+, React, Typescript).
