Responsibilities
Join the MongoDB Server Query Execution team, and help us build a world-class distributed open-source database.
Our team plays a crucial role in the performance and efficiency of MongoDB's data processing.
We are responsible for building and improving the core execution engine that powers all queries, taking a logical query plan produced by the optimizer and turning it into reality.
This includes developing the physical operators for data retrieval and manipulation, improving the runtime for complex analytical and transactional workloads, and owning critical components such as our new execution engine.
In addition to the core server, we support the query execution needs of other major products like Atlas Streams, Atlas Search and Vector Search, and mongosync, making our work vital to the entire MongoDB ecosystem.
You will be joining a globally distributed team with a significant presence in both North America and Europe.
