Senior Software Engineer, Atlas Agent Engine

MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere-on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

Atlas Agent Engine is an agent development platform built on Atlas. It lets enterprises build, deploy, and govern AI agents in production on top of their real-time operational data. Many agents stall between demo and production because of gaps in memory, governance, and security. Agent Engine addresses these natively, as one foundation for execution, memory, and governance, instead of a stack of separate tools.

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join the Atlas Agent Engine team to build and scale the core of this platform. You will work on the developer CLI, SDKs, and distributed systems that run agents reliably at scale: the runtime, memory, retrieval, identity, and governance layers. You’ll take on challenging, high-visibility projects that improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of a new product. MongoDB engineering teams pride themselves on building high-quality software and living our cultural values every day. We value intellectual curiosity and honesty, and building together in an environment that prioritizes collaboration over competition.

We are looking to speak to candidates in the United States based on our remote working model.
