We are introducing an Event Based Architecture, developing and refining a data model that supports JumpCloud’s growth strategy and modernizing our Data Warehouse. A successful data engineer will exhibit an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy tackling data engineering problems that most other people cannot solve, as well as shaping the future capabilities of JumpCloud’s data engineering, performance reporting and data governance.

• Manage, monitor, and optimize MongoDB clusters for performance, availability, and security, including sharding, replication, and backup/recovery strategies.
• Develop and deploy RESTful APIs and microservices that interact with MongoDB, enabling data access and manipulation for various applications.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, data scientists, and product managers to understand data requirements and translate them into technical solutions.
• Implement data governance, data quality, and data security best practices for MongoDB environments.
• Troubleshoot and resolve database-related issues promptly and efficiently.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to architectural discussions to ensure high-quality and scalable solutions.

• 1-3 years of experience of technical leadership (leading, coaching, and/or mentoring junior team members).
• Experience developing and deploying microservices or APIs that interact with databases.
• Solid understanding of database concepts (indexing, query optimization, data modeling, ACID properties for relational vs. BASE for NoSQL).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Willingness to learn and embrace new technologies, languages, and frameworks (we will test your skills with a take home exercise).
• Comfortable with Linux or OSX as a desktop development environment.
• Strong team player that wants to win together.
