Site Reliability Engineer, Fabric

The Team

Platform Engineering is the department within SRE that is responsible for a range of critical infrastructure and operational functions that support the broader engineering organization. Among these are our multi-cloud-provider Kubernetes infrastructure, deployment machinery, and observability and alerting systems.

The Fabric team manages the infrastructure that enables secure communication between systems and from the public internet. Their responsibilities encompass network architecture, service mesh, and edge load balancing, ensuring customer data remains safe in transit. The team plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining the reliable and globally connected multi-cloud network that supports Mongo

DB products.

This role can sit in our Toronto or Vancouver offices, or fully remote from anywhere in North America. When based in an office, we provide hybrid work accommodation.

We are seeking a talented Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with a strong networking background to join the Fabric team. This role is pivotal in building and maintaining the robust infrastructure necessary for secure and efficient communication between our services. As an SRE on the Fabric team, you will leverage your expertise in networking, distributed systems, and automation to ensure our systems are resilient, scalable, and reliable.

• Have 10+ years of experience working on software and operating distributed systems, with deep expertise in networking fundamentals and a good understanding of how the internet works, e.g. TCP/IP (including IPv6), DNS, TLS/mTLS, BGP, tunnels, overlays, and SDN principles.
• Possess a customer-focused mindset, driving improvements that benefit end‑users.
• Value efficiency in processes and operations, and display a strong preference for automation over manual processes (“allergic to ops work”).
• Be intimately familiar with modern cloud-based infrastructure and the network design primitives of at least one of AWS, Azure, or GCP, e.g. VPCs, subnetting, routing, VPNs, peering, private link / private service connect, and CDNs.
• Have a strong knowledge of service mesh and load‑balancing concepts, and be eager to implement these in a multi‑cloud environment.

• Participate in the development of a reliable and resilient multi‑cloud globally‑connected network that is crucial for Mongo
  
  DB’s services.
• Collaborate with service‑owning teams to provide internal support, addressing technical issues and offering guidance on best practices for service‑to‑service connectivity.
• Participate in a 24/7 on‑call rotation to swiftly resolve issues related to network architecture and service‑to‑service connectivity, ensuring minimal disruption and high availability.
