Senior Engineering Manager, Storage Execution

MongoDB powers mission‑critical workloads for customers who expect their data to be durable, highly available, and fast to access. The Storage Execution team builds the core infrastructure that makes those guarantees real.

We are hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to manage the largely New York-based Storage Execution team. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who is obsessed with customer success, takes the responsibility of durably storing customer data seriously, and has strong empathy for both their team and our users.

This role can be based remotely in Ontario, Canada.

The Storage Execution team sits at the heart of MongoDB’s Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) team. We own the core transactional read/write path on each node, across both today’s storage engine and a next‑generation cloud-native storage architecture. Our work determines how correct and performant MongoDB is for customers running mission‑critical production workloads.

The team’s responsibilities include:

• Defining and maintaining the internal collection and index APIs used by Replication, Query and Catalog modules, and commands for local reads and writes, plus the transaction and durability primitives that govern visibility, conflict resolution and crash recovery
• Integrating the next generation of MongoDB’s storage architecture into the server in a way that is predictable for other teams, scales with cloud elasticity, and preserves the performance and safety of the classic configuration
• Improving transaction processing speed and semantics of both single shard and cross‑shard transactions
• Owning index builds and schema‑level storage operations (build/rebuild, cleanup, resumability) and ensuring they behave well for large, highly available clusters running write‑heavy workloads
• Building validation, diagnostics, and storage‑focused test infrastructure to catch durability issues early and keep the system trustworthy at scale
• Partnering with neighboring teams on flow control, prioritization and load‑shedding to stay within resource limits, protecting durability and availability at the cluster level without starving critical operations

• Lead, grow and manage a New York‑based team of 8 to 10 engineers; ensure clear expectations, high standards, and healthy, sustainable execution
• Own the team’s roadmap across durability, availability, performance, and developer productivity, in partnership with OLTP leadership and Product Management
• Manage customer escalations involving storage behavior and durability; work directly with Support, Atlas, and other server teams to reproduce, root‑cause,
