About the Role

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 MongoDB 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 MongoDB 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.

Responsibilities

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 MongoDB-backed product capabilities, including integrations, data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, migration tooling, and support for MongoDB 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 MongoDB 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

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building and operating production applications
Strong application-side expertise with MongoDB, including data modeling, access patterns, aggregation, indexing, transactions, change streams, and a clear 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/TypeScript, Python, or Go, plus experience with APIs, distributed systems, containers, and cloud or self-managed deployment environments
Experience with SaaS 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
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 MongoDB certification, Atlas experience, or familiarity with MongoDB’s broader product portfolio
