About The Cloud Payments Team
Cloud Payments is part of the Cloud Billing organization. As MongoDB’s Cloud business grows, the billing and payments stack becomes increasingly mission‑critical. Our team:
Ingests and aggregates detailed metering and usage data from internal services and major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Calculates and generates daily customer bills for millions of customers worldwide
Integrates with payment processors and internal financial systems to support Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Accounting
Continuously improves customer-facing billing and payments experiences and the reliability and scalability of our backend systems
We’re a group of engineers who care deeply about code quality, correctness, and observability, and who are comfortable collaborating with both highly technical partners and non-technical stakeholders across the business.
The role
We’re looking for a Software Engineer 3 to help design, build, and operate the services that power Cloud Payments. You’ll work primarily in the JVM ecosystem (Java and related tooling), with a focus on large-scale, distributed systems that have to be correct, resilient, and auditable.
This is a Canada-based, fully remote role. You’ll collaborate closely with teammates and stakeholders across North America time zones, including engineers in the broader Cloud Billing organization.
What You’ll Do
In this role, you will:
Design, implement, and operate backend services that ingest, process, and reconcile large volumes of usage and billing data from internal and external systems
Collaborate with product, Finance, Revenue, and other engineering teams to evolve our billing and payments capabilities and improve customer experience
Own features end‑to‑end: requirements, design, implementation, testing, rollout, monitoring, and iterative improvement
Help scale and harden our systems as Atlas and our broader Cloud business continue to grow rapidly
Participate in architecture discussions, technical design reviews, and code reviews to keep our systems robust and maintainable
Contribute to improving our tooling, observability, and development workflows so the whole team can move faster and safer
Take part in an on‑call rotation that treats reliability as a team sport, not an individual burden
What We’re Looking For
You may be a great fit if you:
Have 3+ years of experience building and maintaining backend systems in a compiled language, ideally Java
Understand core object‑oriented design principles and how to apply them to complex, evolving systems
Have experience with distributed systems and services that need to be highly available, observable, and correct at scale
Are comfortable working with databases (relational and/or non‑relational such as MongoDB) in production environments
Communicate clearly and enjoy working with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders across multiple teams
Are curious, collaborative, and motivated by solving real customer and business problems rather than just closing tickets
Nice to have (but not required):
Experience with billing, payments, or other financial systems where correctness, auditability, and compliance really matter
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and modern communication protocols like gRPC
Familiarity with data-intensive applications, data pipelines, or data lakes
Exposure to working with I/O frameworks like Reactor
Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
Prior exposure to MongoDB as a developer or operator
We don’t expect you to check every box. If you’re excited about the space and think you could do great work here, we’d love to hear from you.
