Forward Deployed Engineer (Industry Solutions)

Join MongoDB as a Forward Deployed Engineer in our Industry Solutions practice. In this hands-on application engineering role, you will work directly with independent software vendors (ISVs) to build MongoDB capabilities into their products. 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. Regular travel and time on-site with ISV partners is required.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with independent software vendors (ISVs) to integrate MongoDB capabilities into their products, ensuring production-ready solutions.
• Design and implement MongoDB-backed product capabilities, including integrations, data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, and migration tooling.
• Capture reusable implementation patterns, tooling, product gaps, and lessons learned to accelerate future partner engagements.
• 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
• 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

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building and operating production applications
• Willingness to spend significant time on-site with ISV partners and travel within the region
• 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 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
• Familiarity with event-driven and microservices architectures and technologies such as Kafka, as well as performance engineering, observability, resilience, or production-readiness reviews
• Experience working for or with an ISV, or in a forward-deployed, embedded, resident-engineer, or partner-engineering role
• Exposure to security and compliance requirements for ISVs serving regulated industries

Preferred

• 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
