Senior Software Engineer Go (Remote)

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with a geographically distributed team to design and implement new features that extend Backup for MongoDB’s core functionality.
• Analyze and enhance the performance of Backup for MongoDB by optimizing backup processes, managing high-throughput data transfers, and debugging performance bottlenecks related to concurrency, I/O operations, and resource consumption (memory, CPU, network)
• Participate in code reviews to ensure high-quality software. Engage with the broader MongoDB open-source community by submitting and reviewing pull requests (PRs) and addressing issues the community raises.
• Work closely with product managers, QA teams, and community contributors to shape PSMDB’s roadmap and prioritize features that bring the most outstanding value.
• Build robust and resilient database solutions focusing on ensuring data integrity, fault tolerance, and high availability across distributed systems.
• Contribute to upstream projects we leverage to bring our solutions to the community.
