About the role

Technical design lead for engagements with independent software vendors (ISVs), focusing on how MongoDB integrates with partner products. Hybrid role based in Gurugram.

Responsibilities

  • Lead technical design for ISV engagements by understanding partner architecture and delivery models, then defining MongoDB data models, access patterns, indexing, and integration approaches for products serving different industries
  • Design MongoDB as a supported platform option alongside Oracle, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server, including persistence abstractions, feature parity, backend-specific behavior, and certification requirements
  • Design coexistence architectures and migration paths, including data flows, synchronization, consistency, application refactoring, dual-run strategies, validation, and controlled cutover
  • Lead design reviews, provide technical direction, and review schemas, queries, indexes, MongoDB-related code, and performance against realistic partner workloads
  • Design solutions across MongoDB Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, Kubernetes-based private clouds, and self-managed or air-gapped on-premises environments
  • Build reusable architecture patterns, migration playbooks, code templates, decision frameworks, and other assets that make future partner engagements faster and more consistent
  • Stay hands-on by reading partner code and prototyping critical paths, act as the technical escalation point for Forward Deployed Engineers, and share recurring technical gaps and patterns with MongoDB Product and Engineering teams

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in backend engineering and application architecture, delivering production software products
  • Strong application-side MongoDB expertise, including access-pattern-driven data modeling, aggregation, indexing, transactions, change streams, replication, sharding, and sizing
  • Application-level experience with at least one major relational database and integrating a new database into a large production codebase, including persistence abstraction, data synchronization, dual-write or CDC patterns, transactional boundaries, and incremental rollout
  • Experience designing migrations of production workloads between relational databases and MongoDB
  • Strong SaaS and product-engineering knowledge, including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, versioned schemas, backward compatibility, and managed-cloud, Kubernetes-based private-cloud, or self-managed on-premises deployments
  • The ability to influence engineers and stakeholders without formal authority through technically sound, practical designs; explain trade-offs clearly; identify risks early; and balance delivery speed, quality, and long-term maintainability
  • Willingness to travel regularly to ISV partner locations
