About the Role

MongoDB’s Developer Productivity organization aims to empower engineers with an effective software development process and robust shared tools and services. We are seeking a Senior Director to lead the Pipeline team, responsible for integrating major systems and experiences that drive software delivery at MongoDB. The team's mission is to provide a reliable, scalable, secure, and efficient platform for rapid software deployment, utilizing AI-native approaches.

Responsibilities

  • Own the strategy, execution, and operating model for MongoDB’s end-to-end software delivery pipeline, including continuous integration and release enablement.
  • Set portfolio priorities and resource allocation in partnership with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, balancing urgent delivery needs with long-term platform investments.
  • Enhance the experience for internal engineering users while improving reliability, scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
  • Establish and evolve metrics for measuring developer productivity, system health, and business impact across the pipeline portfolio.
  • Build a high-performing organization by developing managers, strengthening succession depth, and clarifying expectations, accountability, and career development.
  • Serve as a senior escalation point for critical trade-offs and cross-functional issues, ensuring decisions align with company priorities and their downstream consequences are understood.

Requirements

  • 12+ years of hands-on software engineering experience building and operating production systems; experience in developer tooling, platform engineering, observability, or data engineering is a strong plus.
  • 6+ years of experience managing multiple teams and building a strong bench of leaders in a geographically distributed organization with a track record of success in hiring, performance management, and fostering a team growth mindset.
  • Track record of scaling large software systems used by software engineers, ideally including CI/CD, release, or other developer infrastructure platforms with large scale workloads.
  • Strong judgment across both developer-facing product experience and underlying platform architecture, including user workflows, system reliability, operational insight, and service scalability.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code principles; experience with Kubernetes and AWS is especially valuable.
  • Understanding of how to use telemetry, metrics, and analytics to improve developer productivity and operational health.
  • Experience or strong familiarity with software supply chain and release concerns, including reliability, security, and operational rigor.
  • Ability to define strategy and drive execution in ambiguous environments with broad organizational impact, acting as a trusted escalation point for complex technical and organizational trade-offs.
  • Comfortable owning a broad portfolio spanning developer experience, reliability and scale, release systems, telemetry, and operational health.
  • Ability to work effectively with senior leaders and partners across engineering and product to set direction, allocate resources, and make trade-offs.
