Role Posting Log in to save

As a Senior Software Engineer, Server Networking Security (Rust), you will join the Server Ingress Security team to build the Atlas Network Protection layer. This role involves designing, implementing, and operating production-ready security services in Rust to harden the pre-authentication attack surface of MongoDB clusters. You will develop ingress networking solutions focused on security, correctness, performance, and operational excellence while diagnosing test failures and performance regressions. The work requires expertise in systems programming, multi-threaded programming, and performance profiling. Key technical areas include network protocols, TLS, connection lifecycle management, and security concepts like attack surface reduction, input validation, memory safety, and defense-in-depth architectures. You will collaborate across multiple teams to integrate the protection layer into the broader ecosystem while leading project management for features within the ingress security domain to ensure high availability of database services.
