About the role

Senior Engineering Manager to lead a New York–based Storage Execution team within MongoDB’s Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) group. Hands-on leadership focused on customer success, durability of data, and high-performing, sustainable team execution. Role can be based remotely in the United States.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, grow and manage a New York–based team of 8 to 10 engineers; ensure clear expectations, high standards, and healthy, sustainable execution
  • Own the team’s roadmap across durability, availability, performance, and developer productivity, in partnership with OLTP leadership and Product Management
  • Manage customer escalations involving storage behavior and durability; work directly with Support, Atlas, and other server teams to reproduce, root‑cause, and resolve issues
  • Drive process and tooling improvements that raise engineering velocity and code quality (e.g., ownership, review expectations, customer escalation and build failure practices)
  • Partner closely with Replication, Query, Sharding, Catalog & Routing, Storage Engines, and Atlas teams on cross‑team features such as the new storage architecture, availability improvements, and workload management
  • Represent Storage Execution in planning, staffing, and calibration; make thoughtful tradeoffs between near‑term deliverables, longer‑term availability gaps, and platform investments

Qualifications

  • 8+ years building, debugging, and tuning distributed and/or highly concurrent systems software (databases, storage engines, filesystems, or similar)
  • 2+ years managing engineers directly, including hiring, performance management, and coaching across a range of levels
  • Willing to work East Coast hours
  • Strong proficiency in at least one compiled, statically-typed language such as C++, Rust, or Go; prior C++ and systems programming experience is a plus
  • Deep understanding of durability, availability, and performance tradeoffs in distributed systems; experience with replication, consensus, storage engines, or transactional systems is highly desirable
  • Demonstrated customer obsession: direct experience working with demanding customers (or customer support / cloud teams) on complex incidents and turning them into clear, outcome‑oriented recommendations
  • Proven ability to develop people: mentoring and promoting engineers, managing underperformance directly, and building high‑engagement teams with low regretted attrition
  • Comfortable leading multi‑quarter initiatives with multiple stakeholders and using written documents to align teams on design, scope, and tradeoffs
