hn · REMOTE OR HYBRID (US, Ireland)
Jose has strong full-stack and infrastructure experience with proven ability to build and scale production systems, plus proficiency in required languages (Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes). However, he lacks the deep Linux internals expertise, specialized SRE background, and distributed systems infrastructure focus that MongoDB's core infra teams typically require—his experience skews toward AI/ML products and application-level systems rather than platform reliability engineering and multi-cloud operations at scale.
Hook: Your experience architecting real-time voice infrastructure and scaling multi-country deployments with Kubernetes and cloud platforms shows the infrastructure thinking MongoDB needs, though your career has been more product-focused than platform SRE.
Missing: Linux kernel and systems programming expertise, SRE or platform infrastructure specialization, eBPF and advanced Linux security mechanisms, Service mesh and networking infrastructure depth, Disaggregated storage architecture experience, Multi-cloud fleet management at hyperscale

MongoDB | Senior/Staff/Lead SRE and Infra SWE | REMOTE OR HYBRID (US, Ireland) | Full-Time We are looking for experienced Site Reliability Engineers and Infrastructure Software Engineers to help build, scale, and secure the foundation of MongoDB Atlas, our globally distributed, multi-cloud database platform. These are builder roles, heavily focused on making the platform more scalable, resilient, secure and self-service. Some of the teams include: - Infrastructure Security: Building infrastructure security controls and security observability tooling leveraging eBPF and Linux security mechanisms. - Fabric: Building out service mesh, networking, and internal traffic routing. - Storage Layer Services: Building our next-generation disaggregated storage architectures. - Fleet Management & Deployments: Automating the lifecycle, deployments, and control planes of massive multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters. - Atlas Infrastructure: Building core infrastructure operations on hundreds of thousands of Linux servers. You could be a fit if: - 5+ years of experience in SWE, SRE, or similar roles. - Proficiency in at least one programming language: Golang, Rust, Python, C/C++ etc. - Deep understanding of Linux internals, networking, distributed systems, and/or Kubernetes. - Familiarity with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure). - A builder's mentality: you think about failure modes, observability, and operability alongside correctness.
