You’ll translate complex findings into clear recommendations, lead technical discovery, and shape

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, technical consulting, or related technical roles, including customer-facing technical engagement.
• 2+ years of professional programming or scripting experience using languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript/Node.js, C#, C++, or SQL.
• Strong understanding of database technologies, distributed systems, modern application architectures, and high availability.
• Practical experience investigating technical issues, analyzing performance, and evaluating architectural trade-offs.
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure and application architectures on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Ability to engage confidently with developers, architects, and technical leaders, translating complex technical findings into clear recommendations.
• Intellectual curiosity, strong problem-solving skills, initiative, and the ability to independently drive technical engagements.

Responsibilities

• Optimize Production Architectures: Analyze MongoDB workloads, query execution, indexing, data models, cluster configurations, and resource utilization. Identify performance bottlenecks, scalability constraints, and cost optimization opportunities
• Engineer for Resilience and Scale: Evaluate distributed architectures, replication, sharding, high availability, backup and recovery, and disaster recovery strategies. Help customers understand technical trade-offs and design for evolving production requirements
• Think Beyond the Database: Assess how MongoDB interacts with application services, APIs, networking, security, cloud infrastructure, and adjacent technologies. Identify opportunities to simplify architectures, reduce technical debt, and improve operational efficiency
• Shape Future-State Architecture: Guide technical discussions around application modernization, cloud-native design, and AI-powered applications. Explore architectural considerations involving Search, Vector Search, RAG, intelligent agents, and their integration with operational data
• Lead Technical Discovery and Design: Engage developers, architects, and engineering leaders to investigate complex challenges, analyze technical evidence, assess architectural trade-offs, and develop actionable recommendations. Provide hands‑on technical investigation and targeted validation to guide decisions, rather than owning ongoing support cases or implementation projects
• Improve How Customers Build and Operate: Look beyond technology to understand development workflows, operational practices, team capabilities, and architectural ownership. Identify opportunities to improve how applications are developed, deployed, and managed
• Build Trusted Technical Relationships: Establish credibility through technical expertise, curiosity, and sound judgment. Proactively identify architectural risks and opportunities, challenge assumptions constructively, and collaborate with MongoDB Technical Support, Professional Services, and product specialists when deeper troubleshooting or implementation expertise is required
