About the role
MongoDB is the modern database platform and consistently voted the #1 most wanted database, preferred by developers. The Industry Solutions Team (IST) is a flexible, globally distributed organization that helps customers and partners modernize applications and data platforms with MongoDB. As a Forward Deployed Engineer in the Industry ISV Practice, you will work directly with ISVs and their engineering organizations to build MongoDB capabilities into their products, delivering production-ready integrations, migrations, and product capabilities in the partner’s codebase.
What you will do
- 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
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 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
Preferred qualifications
- Experience working for or with an ISV, or in a forward-deployed, embedded, resident-engineer, or partner-engineering role
- Familiarity with event-driven and microservices architectures and technologies such as Kafka, as well as performance engineering, observability, resilience, or production-readiness reviews
- Exposure to security and compliance requirements for ISVs serving regulated industries
- Experience creating reusable tooling, reference implementations, integration components, or technical documentation, along with MongoDB certification, Atlas experience, or familiarity with MongoDB’s broader product portfolio
Benefits and support
- committed to developing a supportive and enriching culture for everyone
- From employee affinity groups, to fertility assistance and a generous parental leave policy, we value our employees’ wellbeing and want to support them along every step of their professional and personal journeys.
