Role description
MongoDB is the modern database platform and consistently voted the #1 most wanted database, preferred by developers. MongoDB 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 MongoDB. As a Forward Deployed Architect in our ISV Practice, you will be the technical design lead for engagements with independent software vendors (ISVs). You will work with ISV development leaders, senior engineers, and Forward Deployed Engineers to design how MongoDB integrates with and extends the partner’s product. This is an application architecture role, not a database administration or database consulting role. You will ensure that the designs implemented by the team are practical, production-ready, and reusable across future partner engagements. Learn more about #LifeAtMongoDB here! We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Gurugram for our hybrid working model.
