Job description

MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

MongoDB is growing rapidly, and every person we hire has the opportunity to help shape the business and grow with the company. You'll be instrumental in strengthening our legal compliance framework and advancing our commitment to robust data protection practices.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.
