Lead, Site Reliability Engineer, Fabric

About the position

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. The Team Platform Engineering is the department within SRE that is responsible for a range of critical infrastructure and operational functions that support the broader engineering organization. Among these are our multi-cloud-provider Kubernetes infrastructure, deployment machinery, and observability and alerting systems. The Fabric team manages the infrastructure that enables secure communication between systems. Their responsibilities encompass network architecture, service mesh, and edge load balancing, ensuring customer data remains safe in transit. The team plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining the reliable and globally connected multi-cloud network that supports MongoDB products. This role can sit in our NYC HQ, our smaller Austin, Palo Alto, or San Francisco offices, or fully remote from anywhere in North America. When based in an office, we provide hybrid work accommodation.
