For this role, we're looking for someone who will enjoy designing, writing, and supporting open source libraries for the Python ecosystem developers that use MongoDB.

• Have practical experience with AI/ML frameworks and technologies in Python, including large language models and agentic tools are a plus
• Have an interest in learning and staying up-to-date with Python ecosystem trends and best practices and incorporating them into your work
• Can make pragmatic design decisions, balancing tradeoffs such as usability, maintainability and delivery time
• Want to, or already do, participate in open source software development and communities, both online via e.g. GitHub and optionally through conferences and speaking engagements
• Communicate well, internally and externally, both verbally and in writing
• Enjoy collaborating with teammates, and mentoring junior engineers and interns
• Are self-motivated, organized, and have strong time management skills

• Developing and supporting the MongoDB Python drivers and subsidiary libraries (PyMongo, Django MongoDB Backend, PyMongoArrow, LangChain MongoDB) and related software, collaborating with peers in our distributed world-wide engineering team
• Writing and maintaining open source specifications defining common behavior and APIs shared across all of our drivers
• Investigating bugs and support requests from commercial customers, open source users, and internal users for the libraries our team maintains
• Working with our Product and Server teams on designs and specifications for new user-facing MongoDB features

• Within one month, you will understand the high-level architecture of the drivers and how MongoDB works, and will have completed a few small bug fixes and/or feature tickets
• Within three months, you will be contributing effectively day-to-day, fixing bugs, implementing features, investigating and responding to open source user and customer issues, and reviewing your peers' code
• Within six months, you'll have implemented major, planned new features, contributed to our common driver specifications, shipped a major feature in an open source library, and will be collaborating with the Product team to help craft our roadmap
• Within twelve months, you'll have significantly improved the quality, performance and maintainability of our codebase, and will be taking the lead in designing and specifying major new features
