David Golub is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building large-scale cloud data services, most recently leading the Atlas Data Federation and Online Archive efforts at MongoDB from prototype to GA. He brings deep systems and backend expertise in Go, distributed query execution (including a spill-to-disk hash join for $lookup), and cloud integrations across AWS and Azure. Earlier work spans core cloud platform features—APIs, billing, alerts—and a history of Windows specialization and portability. David combines strong academic foundations (MS Columbia, BS Yale) and applied math coursework with hands-on product delivery and cross-team technical leadership. Now based in New York, he continues to focus on making complex data systems efficient and operationally resilient. An understated strength is his track record of being the early hire who turns prototypes into production-quality services used at scale.
