As a Software Engineer 3, Atlas Vector Search, you will join the Vector Search team to build a vector database on top of MongoDB. You will be responsible for the syntax and implementation of the $vectorSearch aggregation, which enables approximate nearest neighbor queries over high-dimensional vectors. Your daily work involves implementing new features within $search and $vectorSearch operators, collaborating with Product teams to define query and index syntax, and identifying performance bottlenecks in filter queries and nearest neighbor search. The role requires experience building large-scale backend systems using Java or other JVM languages. You will also perform code reviews, review technical designs, and mentor junior developers.
