Networking Observability’s responsibilities include improving MongoDB networking, improving the efficiency of resource utilization, and building low-overhead observability features. Our team includes engineers located in New York City and fully remote engineers. We operate close to the bottom of the stack, and have a lot of influence over the availability, performance, and robustness of our open source database as well as the development efficiency of the engineering team overall.
