Senior Software Engineer, Server Networking Security (Rust)
MongoDB's Server Ingress Security team is rearchitecting the MongoDB Server's ingress networking to make MongoDB clusters even more secure. This new team is building the Atlas Network Protection layer: a set of performant, security-critical services that harden MongoDB's pre-authentication attack surface and enable rapid response to emergent threats. Senior Engineers are sought as founding members to play a crucial role in a multi-year roadmap. Candidates should be based in Dublin for the hybrid working model.
