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
As an ideal candidate, you will have
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

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
As an ideal candidate, you may also have
Experience working inside an ISV or product company, including in a forward-deployed, resident-architect, embedded-architect, or similar technical delivery role
Familiarity with event-driven architectures and technologies such as Kafka or Debezium
Experience with regulated or data-intensive industries and their security, compliance, and data-governance requirements
MongoDB certification, MongoDB Atlas experience, or experience with MongoDB’s broader product portfolio
What you will learn
Deepen your expertise across MongoDB Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, application development, data modeling, search, vector workloads, and the broader MongoDB ecosystem
Develop advanced experience in multi-database application architecture, database coexistence, migrations, cloud-native deployment, and the operational considerations of partner products
Work across ISV products, technology stacks, industries, and deployment environments while building reusable architecture patterns and developing your technical influence and leadership
