Senior Staff Engineer, AMP
About the role
The Application Modernization Platform (AMP) team is tackling one of the industry's most critical challenges: leveraging Generative AI to transform rigid, legacy applications into modern, microservices-based architectures powered by MongoDB. We are building a comprehensive, SaaS-like platform, encompassing both the "brain" (multi-agent reasoning and orchestration) and the "hands" (the deployment platform and modernization toolset). This solution requires a robust platform foundation and infrastructure designed for a "build once, run anywhere" model, ensuring seamless operation regardless of a client's security or network constraints.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a team of engineers, fostering a culture of innovation, quality, and continuous improvement.
- Lead the design and implementation of a sophisticated orchestration layer that manages authentication, telemetry, and the workflow of application modernization stages.
- Leverage GenAI to build reliable and scalable building blocks that are extendable and easy to assemble to an autonomous workflow.
- Collaborate with MongoDB product teams to ensure the modernized applications integrate seamlessly with customers’ database ecosystems.
- Guide the team through technical challenges related to where and how to leverage GenAI to build the critical building blocks of application modernization toolset.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of software development and operations experience, with a focus on building platforms and distributable software infrastructure.
- Deep experience in building data warehouses and core components for data processing systems.
- Experience in using GenAI in building complex large-scale systems, and understanding what GenAI is best suited to do.
- Understanding of security-first design, specifically regarding the execution of untrusted code, fine-grain access control, and rigorous input validation.
- 2+ years of experience leading, coaching, and mentoring a team of engineers to achieve high-impact results.
- Excellent verbal and written technical communication skills and a strong desire to collaborate cross-functionally.
- Excellent time and project management skills including the ability to make realistic assessments of project cost and complexity.
- Curiosity, a positive attitude, and a drive to continue learning, in particular building AI skillset.
