Description For Senior Site Reliability Engineer

MongoDB, a leading developer data platform provider, is seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to join their Observability team within the Platform Engineering organization. This role is based in New York City with a hybrid working model.

The position focuses on building and maintaining MongoDB's critical observability stack, which includes metrics, logging, and tracing systems used across all engineering teams. The tech stack includes VictoriaMetrics, Splunk, QuickWit, Jaeger, Fluentbit, and Vector. This is a highly collaborative role where you'll work with both SWE and SRE teams to implement best practices in service monitoring and instrumentation.

As a Senior SRE, you'll be responsible for defining the vision for the observability platform, designing and implementing monitoring solutions that span multiple cloud providers, and ensuring service reliability through fault-tolerant design. The role involves participating in on-call rotations and contributing to the company's blameless post-mortem culture.

MongoDB offers an attractive compensation package ranging from $127,000 to $249,000 USD, along with comprehensive benefits including equity participation, flexible PTO, and extensive health coverage. The company strongly values diversity and inclusion, providing support through employee affinity groups and maintaining inclusive policies like gender-neutral parental leave.

The ideal candidate should have experience with large-scale distributed systems, strong programming skills, and a deep understanding of web protocols and security. Knowledge of cloud providers and Kubernetes is a plus. This role offers significant opportunity for growth and impact, working with some of the most critical infrastructure at MongoDB while helping shape the future of observability practices across the organization.

Join MongoDB to be part of a company that's empowering innovators worldwide, with over 175,000 new developers joining monthly and trusted by major organizations like Samsung and Toyota. You'll have the chance to work on cutting-edge technology while contributing to a platform that enables AI-powered applications and modern workload transformation.
