Your role in the team

  • Take responsibility for the design, operation, and maintenance of large, distributed MongoDB clusters in a mission-critical environment.
  • Demonstrate your skills in designing and scaling Replica Sets and Sharded Clusters for maximum high availability and fault tolerance.

Our expectations of you

Qualifications

  • Scaling & High Availability: You understand the mechanisms behind sharding, replication, election processes, and read/write concerns, and know how to design clusters to be fault-tolerant across multiple data centers or regions.
  • Data modeling: You know how to design efficient schema designs, aggregation pipelines, and index strategies for high-performance queries across distributed data sets.
  • Automation: Using tools like Ansible, Terraform, or scripting languages (Python, Bash), you automate provisioning, configuration, and the operation of entire clusters.
  • Container platforms: Docker, Kubernetes, or OpenShift are essential tools for you to operate database clusters consistently and efficiently.
  • Monitoring & Backup: You use tools such as MongoDB Ops Manager, Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK Stack for cluster monitoring and implement robust backup and recovery strategies for distributed environments.
  • Security-conscious: For you, data security always comes first. You are familiar with authentication (LDAP, Kerberos), role-based access control (RBAC), encryption, and auditing, ensuring that security vulnerabilities have no chance.
  • Strong communication skills: You understand that good knowledge must be shared. You feel comfortable in a team and can convey complex issues clearly and understandably.
  • Eager to learn: The IT world is changing rapidly, and you are always ready to learn new things and develop further.
  • Adventurous traveler: You are open to assignments with our clients and see it as an opportunity to broaden your horizons.
  • Language talent: You have at least a C1 level in German. English skills are a definite plus.

Experience

  • Cluster Expert: You have proven, several years of experience in building and operating entire MongoDB clusters in production environments - from designing replica sets and sharding strategies to managing MongoDB Atlas or Enterprise Advanced at scale.
  • Cloud topics: You already have experience with operating distributed databases in cloud environments based on MS Azure, Amazon Web Services, or Google Cloud Platform.
