Job Title: Senior Software Engineer – Python / MongoDB

Location: Lagos

Description

• We’re enabling high-performing, rock-solid MongoDB deployments on any cloud or platform our customers choose. We want to create the world’s best open-source analogue to MongoDB Altas or Amazon DocumentDB, which can be owned, controlled and operated by end-users on their own multi-cloud or on-premise environments.
• Canonical is looking for an experienced Python developer with a background in MongoDB who will help us to build a fully managed MongoDB solution based on Juju. We’re aiming to build the most reliable and secure way to deploy and operate MongoDB on machines, VMs, public cloud and Kubernetes.
