  • Design and build MongoDB-backed product capabilities, including integrations, data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, and migration tooling.
  • Implement coexistence and migration solutions involving synchronization, change data capture, dual writes, consistency, application refactoring, validation, and controlled cutover.
  • Design and validate production-ready solutions for performance, scalability, resilience, observability, security, and operational readiness.

  • Experience with SaaS and product engineering, including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, versioned schemas, backward compatibility, and working in unfamiliar codebases.
  • Willingness to spend significant time on-site with ISV partners and travel within the region.
  • Preferred qualifications include ISV, forward-deployed, embedded, resident-engineer, or partner-engineering experience; Kafka and event-driven or microservices architecture familiarity; performance engineering, observability, resilience, or production-readiness experience; regulated-industry security and compliance exposure; reusable tooling or reference implementation experience; MongoDB certification; and Atlas experience.
