Mongo DB is the modern database platform and consistently voted the #1 most wanted database, preferred by developers. Mongo DB continues to attract the most demanding and innovative companies and development teams in enterprise software.
To support this growth, we are expanding our Industry Solutions Team (IST), a flexible, globally distributed organization that helps customers and partners modernize applications and data platforms with Mongo DB.
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 Mongo DB 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 Mongo DB 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.

What you'll do at Mongo DB
In this role, you will:
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 Mongo DB-backed product capabilities, including integrations,



data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, migration tooling, and support for Mongo DB 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 Mongo DB 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
As an ideal candidate, you will have
5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building and operating production applications
Strong application-side expertise with Mongo DB, including data modeling, access patterns, aggregation, indexing, transactions, change streams, and a explicit 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/Type Script, Python, or Go, plus experience with APIs, distributed systems, containers, and cloud or self-managed deployment environments
Experience with Saa S 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
As an ideal candidate, you may also have
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 Mongo DB certification, Atlas experience, or familiarity with Mongo DB's broader product portfolio
What you will learn
Gain practical experience modernizing applications and delivering Mongo DB solutio
