Staff Software Engineer, Data Migration

MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

MongoDB is building a world-class team in India to create tooling that helps customers migrate their data from legacy relational databases to MongoDB in real-time. As companies modernise their application and data ecosystems, they are increasingly drawn to the flexibility and scalability of the document model. The tools developed by the Data Migration team are critical in this journey, helping customers with schema modeling, initial data loads, and continuous data synchronization.

We are looking for an experienced Staff Software Engineer with a strong background in data-intensive applications and the Java ecosystem to be a key contributor to our team. In this role, you will focus on solving moderately complex issues and contribute to the team's success by consistently delivering solutions to clearly scoped problems. You will work with a modern technology stack, including Java, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, and Debezium, to build a cutting-edge product that solves our customers' most challenging data problems.

This role will be based in our India office in Gurgaon and offers a hybrid working model.

The ideal candidate for this role will have

• 8+ years of commercial software development experience in backend or distributed systems
• Deep expertise with at least one JVM language such as Java, and extensive experience with its common patterns and frameworks, preferably the Spring ecosystem
• Proven experience with data streaming systems such as Apache Kafka and Change Data Capture (CDC) tools like Debezium
• Strong experience with relational data modeling, SQL (Postgres, MySQL, Oracle, etc.), and at least one document database (e.g., MongoDB)
• A strong foundation in core technical skills, consistently applying established design patterns and coding standards to produce well-structured artifacts with excellent attention to detail
• Experience providing guidance to junior teammates, introducing them to coding best practices and basic architectural principles
• A good understanding of algorithms, data structures, and their time and space complexity
• Curiosity, a positive attitude, and a drive to continue learning
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
