The Query Integration team is focused on building user-facing features on top of the core query engine and helping to integrate query with other products in the MongoDB ecosystem. This includes enhancing our time-series product, extending language support for analytics, helping grow our Atlas Search and Vector Search products with database support and adding workload telemetry to provide greater insight into how our database is used. Most of our development is in C++, but prior experience in C++ is not required. Our testing infrastructure is written in JavaScript and Python.
