Forward Deployed Engineer, MongoDB

• 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building and operating production applications
• Strong application-side expertise with MongoDB, including data modeling, access patterns, aggregation, indexing, transactions, change streams, and a clear 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, together with the ability to work effectively in unfamiliar codebases and explain technical trade-offs clearly
• Willingness to spend significant time on-site with ISV partners and travel within the region

Desirable

• As a Forward Deployed Engineer in our Industry ISV Practice, you will work directly with independent software vendors (ISVs) and their engineering organizations to build MongoDB capabilities into their products
• You will work in the partner’s codebase, languages, engineering practices, and release process to deliver production-ready integrations, migrations, and product capabilities
• The solutions you help build should leave the partner with maintainable code and knowledge, while creating reusable patterns that can accelerate future partner engagements
• This is a hands-on application engineering role
• You will spend time understanding existing products built on relational databases, designing practical MongoDB approaches, writing production code, and working alongside partner engineers through implementation and rollout
• The role requires regular travel and time on-site with ISV partners during key phases of the engagement
• 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
