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. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will partner with key Engineering, Product, and Product Design stakeholders to deliver critical services and features. You will begin with 1-2 key programs, aligned to time-bound goals, to steward to completion.

This role can be based out of our San Francisco and New York City offices or remotely in the United States.

The right candidate for this role will be:

• Experienced in managing technical projects and working with full stack development teams using a variety of project management techniques
• Experienced with 5+ years working in a technical capacity and/or in a project or program management role
• Capable of deep user empathy and adept at balancing product goals and engineering constraints to deliver impactful experiences
• Proficient in grasping the infrastructure of your program domain, and skilled at identifying the technical interfaces between teams
• Able to maintain a strategic view of our software engineering processes even while supporting and optimizing the operations of the team
• Inspired to innovate in areas where automation can replace manual work. The team works primarily with JIRA and Google Docs so programming proficiency with either or both tools is a plus
• Skilled at communicating across a diverse set of engineers and stakeholders
• Hyper-organized and capable of juggling all of the data associated with projects and task-tracking
• Knowledgeable of agile methodologies and experienced with implementing project management best practices
• Driven by an attuned sense of priority and urgency to ship features and achieve the right business outcomes
• Trained in working with project tracking software (e.g. JIRA, Rally, MS Project, Trello)
• Interested in learning everything about MongoDB

Position Expectations:

• Execute and improve the processes and tools that inform the daily life of engineering teams
• Drive coordination between product development teams and internal stakeholders to prioritize the team's backlog and plan its release roadmap
• Identify risks to the team's delivery, mitigating them where possible
• Own the data around the health of each team's project and ticket backlog
• Know when a project/team requires more hands-on management and know when it is time to operationalize and develop a process framework for the project and/or team(s)
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement by conducting retrospectives to help identify areas of growth and learnings within and across teams
• Recognize patterns in a sea of information and take action accordingly
• Expand knowledge into new domains by consistently working to gain the requisite technical knowledge required to skillfully manage the complexities, dependencies, and risks associated with engineering projects

Success Measures:

• Delivery against program goals
• Improvements and automations in team operations, including leveraging best practices from the TPM community

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, related fields or equivalent practical experience
• Demonstrated technical aptitude and strong analytical skills with proven results
• 5+ years industry experience as a program or engineering manager
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt style and delivery for a variety of audiences
