About the role

MongoDB is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own scalability for the Atlas data platform. You will own the end-to-end product experience for how customers scale Atlas deployments, including vertical, autoscaling, and horizontal scaling, as well as related operational workflows. You will set strategy, drive execution with engineering, and drive year-over-year improvements in reliability and predictability of scaling.

Responsibilities

  • Set a clear, opinionated vision and strategy for Atlas cluster scalability and translate it into concrete, prioritized bets each release.
  • Own the end-to-end roadmap for vertical scaling, autoscaling, and horizontal scaling, including the operational and observability surfaces customers rely on during scaling events.
  • Make hard prioritization calls, including saying no to things with real customer or leadership support, and own those decisions and their consequences.
  • Build deep technical understanding of Atlas scaling internals (instance tier mechanics, autoscaler logic, sharding, balancer behavior, capacity headroom) and use it to shape requirements and tradeoffs with engineering.
  • Represent product direction with conviction to senior engineering leaders, field partners, and enterprise customers, especially when they disagree.
  • Stay close to customers and field partners to deeply understand scaling pain points, failure patterns, and the moments where trust is won or lost.
  • Define success metrics for scalability, build analytics that surface issues early, and use data to inform clear, timely decisions under ambiguity.
  • Lead proactive, cross-functional execution with Engineering, Design, Docs, Support, Marketing, and Sales to ship reliable, high-quality scaling experiences and accelerate adoption.
  • Mentor junior PMs, contribute to strategic product thinking across teams, and influence leadership-level product decisions, all while operating without direct reports.
  • Be accountable to year-over-year growth on the metrics that matter for Atlas scalability.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of product management experience on technically complex, infrastructure-level products.
  • Demonstrated success owning enterprise-grade, technical products end-to-end.
  • Technical fluency: comfortable discussing architecture, failure modes, performance characteristics, and tradeoffs with senior engineers, and connecting technical decisions directly to customer outcomes.
  • Track record of taking products from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 50.
  • Strong customer-orientation and field-connection, regularly engaging directly with customers and field teams and translating their input into clear requirements and roadmap decisions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication: crisp, high-quality artifacts and the ability to tailor the message by audience.
  • Strong analytical skills and metrics rigor, including defining success metrics, instrumenting and debugging analytics, and using data to inform judgment.
  • Demonstrated decision-making speed and conviction under ambiguity, with examples of making hard calls and cutting scope.
  • Desire to be a part of the Go-to-Market, Marketing, and Sales enablement process.
