About 10gen
10gen is the company behind MongoDB, the leading NoSQL database. MongoDB (named from "huMONGOus," meaning "extremely large") is reinventing data management and powering big data. Designed for how we build and run applications today, MongoDB empowers organizations to be more agile and scalable. It enables new types of applications, better customer experience, faster time to market and lower costs. MongoDB has a thriving global community with 4 million downloads, 50,000 Online Education registrations, 15,000 MongoDB User Group (MUG) members and 10,000 annual MongoDB Days attendees. The company has more than 600 customers, including many of the world’s largest organizations.
All engineers at 10gen are involved in every aspect of the technology, from supporting customers, to writing code to organizing and taking part in community events (Additionally noteworthy, our CEO and CTO still write code and provide technical support on a daily basis!).
For those with more experience, perhaps looking for a change, the wide adoption of MongoDB across the industry means that most IT experience is applicable.
Here at 10gen, we have a true hacker culture. Our global support team is experienced in development, networking, security, support, systems, and much more. The founders of 10gen created MongoDB to solve the new problems facing companies today. Their vision -- tools for developers, written by developers -- still defines our culture.
