The database market is massive (the IDC estimates it to be $89B+ by 2024!) and MongoDB is at the head of its disruption. The MongoDB community is transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading modern data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

MongoDB is a company passionate about empowering engineers by providing them with database and data platform technologies that are intuitive, powerful, and scalable.

The Server engineers developing the MongoDB database require confidence in the absolute performance and correctness of the products they’re building. To meet this goal, the Server Tooling and Methods (STM) team is a Developer Productivity team specializing in building automated tools. We make it easy to verify both the correctness and performance of the database. The team combines skills in software development, systems engineering, and logical reasoning to build tools we’re proud of and to spread a culture of precision across the Server team.
