Software Engineer 3, App Analysis & Modelling
MongoDBSydney, New South Wales, Australia · Posted 3 months agoDescription
MongoDB is growing its team in Sydney, focusing on building intelligent tools that help customers understand and modernise their application codebases. The Application Modernisation Platform (AMP) guides customers through the entire journey of modernising their applications — from legacy relational platforms to modern, scalable systems built on MongoDB. The App Analysis & Modelling team owns the critical first stage of this journey: building the context that powers everything downstream. The team builds code analysis tools that construct code dependency graphs and generate deep insights for codebases, giving customers a clear understanding of their existing applications before transformation begins. The team also designs schema recommendation engines that analyse signals such as existing relational schemas and query patterns to inform data modelling decisions. Our work sits at the intersection of analysis, data modelling, and AI — helping developers make confident, data-driven decisions as they transition to MongoDB.
We are looking for a Software Engineer who is passionate about building scalable backend systems and applications. As we expand our use of AI to power smarter analysis and recommendations, the ideal candidate will bring strong backend engineering fundamentals with the ability to contribute across the full stack. You will collaborate closely with product management and other engineering teams to design and deliver cutting-edge features that guide customers through complex modernisation journeys.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Sydney for our hybrid working model.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have
- 3+ years of commercial software development experience with strong proficiency in Python and/or Java
- Experience designing and building scalable, high-performance APIs and backend services
- Solid understanding of relational data modelling and SQL (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar), including schema design and query optimisation
- Good understanding of algorithms, data structures, and their time and space complexity
- Experience with frontend development using React and TypeScript, or a demonstrated willingness and ability to work across the full stack
- Degree in Computer Science or a similar field, or equivalent practical experience
- Curiosity, a positive attitude, and a drive to continue learning
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Nice to Have
- Experience building AI-powered features, including working with Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic workflows
- Experience with code analysis, static analysis tooling, or building tools that traverse and interpret code structures programmatically
- Familiarity with MongoDB
- Experience with cloud-native distributed systems (e.g., Kubernetes or similar)
- Contributions to open-source projects
Position Expectations
- Contribute high-quality, well-tested code to the App Analysis & Modelling team’s backend and frontend services
- Design and build scalable APIs and data pipelines that power code analysis and schema recommendation features
- Collaborate effectively with Product Management, other engineers, and designers to build and deliver on the product roadmap
- Participate actively in code reviews to enforce best practices and maintain a high bar for code quality
- Give and solicit feedback on technical design documents and pull requests
- Help troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues across the stack
- Perform tasks related to engineering process such as CI/CD, quality, and testing
Success Measures
Within the first three months, you will have:
- Familiarised yourself with the MongoDB database and aggregation language
- Familiarised yourself with the backend tech stack including Python, Java, and our API infrastructure
- Set up your software development environment and begin contributing to the codebase
- Started collaborating with your peers and contributed to code reviews and design discussions
Within six months, you will have:
- Familiarised yourself with the full stack including the React/TypeScript frontend
- Worked on and delivered a large-scale feature in the product
- Contributed to and helped deliver multiple product releases
- Reviewed and contributed to scope and technical design documents
Within twelve months, you will have:
- Become a key contributor to the team, capable of owning complex features independently
- Delivered at least one large-scale feature that spans the entire tech stack
- Helped recruit and interview new members of the team
- Collaborated effectively with other teams at MongoDB on cross-functional projects
