Descrição da vaga
<p>The Data Pipeline team, within the MongoDB Observability organization, builds and supports scalable, highly available capabilities for transporting and transforming telemetry data across MongoDB. The team's mission is to provide a unified streaming pipeline that ingests data and processes high-throughput telemetry, enabling the migration of legacy observability solutions within MongoDB. </p>
<p>Built on a diskless, Kafka-compatible data streaming platform as the core streaming bus and Apache Flink for real-time transformations and delivery to storage, the platform lives on Kubernetes clusters and enables downstream consumers to access live telemetry for immediate analysis and reliable long-term retention. The main concern of this team is to provide reliable systems with high availability and replay capabilities.</p>
<h3>About the role</h3>
<p>We're looking for a Software Engineer 3 to help build and operate this platform. This is an individual contributor role that combines hands-on software development with systems and site reliability engineering. You'll contribute code and ship backend improvements, while also troubleshooting production issues and helping keep the services reliable.</p>
<p>If you enjoy both building distributed systems and understanding how they behave in production, this role offers the opportunity to work on high-volume telemetry processing with meaningful operational responsibility. You'll contribute to medium-sized technical projects and grow with support from experienced engineers.</p>
<p>We are looking to speak to candidates based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.</p>
<h3>We're looking for someone who</h3>
<ul>
<li>Enjoys working with other engineers, is approachable and curious, and is open to feedback</li>
<li>Has experience with Kafka-compatible streaming platforms, Apache Flink, or comparable stream-processing technologies</li>
<li>Has experience writing production backend systems in a compiled language, such as Java, Go, C, or C++</li>
<li>Has experience designing and developing scalable distributed services, with an understanding of performance, availability, and failure handling</li>
<li>Has worked with event-driven systems, ingestion pipelines, or high-throughput data processing</li>
<li>Has hands-on experience managing the development and release lifecycle on Kubernetes clusters using GitOps tools such as Argo CD or Flux</li>
<li>Has hands-on experience applying a data-driven approach to debugging and troubleshooting production systems using tools such as profilers and flame graphs to collect evidence</li>
<li>Is comfortable being part of 24/7 on-call rotations</li>
<li>Can explain their own technical contributions, the trade-offs they made, and the evidence used to evaluate results</li>
<li>Has a strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and time and space complexity</li>
</ul>
<h3>Nice to haves</h3>
<ul>
<li>Experience with telemetry, metrics, logs, or observability infrastructure</li>
<li>Experience using service-level indicators, objectives, or agreements to guide reliability improvements</li>
<li>Experience improving monitoring, alerting, incident response, or operational automation</li>
</ul>
<h3>Role responsibilities</h3>
<ul>
<li>Design, write, test and maintain backend code and features for the Data Pipeline platform</li>
<li>Contribute to and lead medium-sized technical projects through production delivery</li>
<li>Help improve the scalability, availability, and reliability of telemetry ingestion, transformation, and delivery to downstream storage</li>
<li>Investigate production issues using metrics, logs, and other evidence, and contribute to fixes and preventative improvements</li>
<li>Participate in the team's on-call rotation and support customer escalations with support engineers and teammates</li>
<li>Be customer-driven by collaborating with the sister teams and customers to improve the Observability user experience</li>
<li>Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, coding best practices, and operational improvements</li>
</ul>
<h3>Success measures</h3>
<ul>
<li>In 1 month, you'll be familiar with the systems the Data Pipeline team owns, the telemetry flow and the team's development practices, and you'll have completed minor codebase tasks</li>
<li>In 3 months, you'll be contributing to the design and development of team projects and shipping changes regularly</li>
<li>In 6 months, you'll be taking on small and medium-sized projects, contributing actively to technical discussions, proactively improving the platform, supporting customer escalations, and participating in the on-call rotation</li>
</ul>
