Cool things you’ll do

MongoDB is on a mission to change the way people think about databases. Along the way, our customers encounter questions and issues about how our approach to databases works for their use case. In Technical Services, it's our job to help these people.

You will be working alongside our largest customers, solving their complex issues - resolving questions on architecture, performance, recovery, security, and everything in between. 

You will advise customers on the right approach for securing HIPAA data applications deployed to critical care facilities or provide guidance to minimize query latency in a multi-sharded cryptocurrency application. Other times, you will work with startups to minimize their infrastructure footprint through the use of performant schema design while also integrating with their container deployment system to achieve efficient on-demand capacity. 

You'll be an authority on best practices in running MongoDB at scale, whatever that scale may be. You'll be an advocate for customers' needs - collaborating with our product management and development teams on their behalf. 

For the right candidate, your work alongside our customers will provide incredible insights into the patterns and nuances of our products and flavors of implementation. You'll contribute to internal projects, including software development of support tools for performance, benchmarking, and diagnostics aimed at enhancing our ability to quickly and accurately resolve customer issues.
