Job description

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 anywhere-on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 developers joining MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.MongoDB is seeking a Lead Software Engineer with advanced software engineering skills and experience in code modernization & building tools that can traverse code structures programmatically. Joining this team, you’ll be pivotal in a product engineering group dedicated to helping users navigate code conversion challenges with AI’s support.We are seeking candidates located in North America for in-office, remote, or hybrid work options.Many organizations have built up large estates of legacy applications.
