Cool things you’ll do

MongoDB, the developer data platform and AI platform of choice for modern applications, is on a mission to change the way people think about databases. As they build intelligent, data-driven experiences on our platform, our customers naturally encounter questions and challenges about how our approach to data and databases fits their specific use cases and architectural needs. In Technical Services, it’s our job to guide these people, helping them design, operate, and optimize their solutions so they can succeed with MongoDB.

You'll be working alongside our largest customers, solving their complex issues - resolving questions on architecture, performance, recovery, security, and everything in between. You'll be an expert resource on standard methodologies in running MongoDB at scale, whatever that scale may be. You'll be an advocate for customers' needs - working with our product management and development teams on their behalf. You'll contribute to internal projects, including software development of support tools for performance, benchmarking, and diagnostics.

MongoDB Technical Services puts a strong focus on engineers enabling their peers to be successful by sharing newly gained technical knowledge with the team, either via informal one-to-one conversations, or training and workshop sessions. By documenting solutions in our knowledge platform, TSEs will increase the efficiency of our customers, other team members and departments throughout MongoDB.

Beyond direct customer work, you will contribute to internal tools and automation that make our engineers and customers more effective, including AI-assisted diagnostics, performance analysis, and knowledge discovery. You will share what you learn by writing knowledge base articles, delivering training and workshops, and mentoring new team members.
