About the role
MongoDB is building a new platform to make it easier for customers to build AI applications using MongoDB, and the platform's SRE team owns its operational foundations: the Kubernetes fleet, networking, observability and alerting, and tenant isolation. As a Staff Site Reliability Engineer on this new team, you will provide technical leadership for the operational foundations that enable deployment at scale of AI applications, owning the reliability architecture as it expands across regions and cloud providers. The role sets the technical direction for how the platform is operated, including capacity planning, multi-cloud expansion, incident response, and SLO discipline, working from Bengaluru in a hybrid model.
What you will do

- Possess a customer-focused mindset
- Value efficiency in processes and operations, and display a strong preference for automation over manual processes
- Be intimately familiar with the infrastructure primitives of at least one of AWS, GCP, or Azure, and comfortable reasoning about differences between them
