Responsibilities

  • Embed with ISV engineering teams, adapting to their codebase, practices, release cadence, and constraints while understanding their product architecture, industry context, data model, and deployment environment
  • Design and build MongoDB-backed product capabilities, including integrations, data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, migration tooling, and support for MongoDB alongside relational database editions
  • Design and implement coexistence and migration solutions, including synchronization, change data capture (CDC), dual writes, consistency, application refactoring, validation, and controlled cutover
  • Design and validate production-ready solutions for performance, scalability, resilience, observability, security, and operational readiness across MongoDB Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, Kubernetes-based private clouds, and self-managed or restricted on-premises environments
  • Enable partner engineers through collaborative development, code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing, while working with internal technical teams to resolve design questions and establish support boundaries
  • Capture reusable implementation patterns, tooling, product gaps, and lessons learned to accelerate future partner engagements

Qualifications

  • Strong application-side expertise with MongoDB, including data modeling, access patterns, aggregation, indexing, transactions, change streams, and understanding of query and transaction semantics
  • Application-level fluency with at least one major relational database, including relational data modeling, access patterns, database drivers or ORMs, indexing, transactions, query planning, and transaction-isolation assumptions
  • Experience integrating a new database into a large production codebase and migrating production workloads, including persistence abstractions, data synchronization, dual-write or CDC patterns, application refactoring, validation, and incremental rollout
  • Strong coding ability in at least two languages such as Java, C#/.NET, Node.js/TypeScript, Python, or Go, plus experience with APIs, distributed systems, containers, and cloud or self-managed deployment environments
  • Experience with SaaS and product engineering, including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, versioned schemas, and backward compatibility
