📋 Description

• The core replication engine: initial collection cloning followed by continuous change capture over MongoDB Change Streams • Correctness and fault tolerance at scale • Sharded cluster support, replicating across shards • Namespace filtering and automatic index management • Performance and throughput: parallelizing the clone, applying backpressure • The CLI and HTTP API that drive and observe a sync, and the metrics and logging that let an operator trust what is happening • Consistent backup, restore, and point-in-time recovery across replica sets and sharded clusters • Backup storage: integrating reliably with main cloud object storage and remote filesystems • The pbm-agent and pbm CLI, coordinating them across the cluster • Working in the open: pull requests, code review, JIRA, and the community forum • Release quality: tests, packaging, and the CI and security scanning that gate every change

🎯 Requirements

• Strong Go experience in production, with real fluency in concurrency: goroutines, channels, context cancellation, worker pools, and backpressure • Solid grounding in distributed systems and data consistency • Hands-on MongoDB knowledge: change streams, the oplog, resume tokens, replica sets, and sharding • Comfort building and operating command-line tools and HTTP APIs, and instrumenting them with metrics and structured logs • A habit of writing tests that catch real problems • Experience working in the open: Git and pull request workflows, giving and taking code review well, and communicating clearly in writing with contributors you have never met in person

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible work hours and various paid time off programs • All your equipment for your remote office • Funds for career development (external training, certifications, conferences) • Ongoing connectivity allowances • Opportunity to participate in our equity incentive plan • Benefits supporting a healthy work/life balance such as The Percona Adventure Team, Work-from-Anywhere, FlowDays, FryDays, and overall flexibility • Support for being socially responsible through our PAVE volunteering program and Women Transforming Technology
