Associate TSE II

MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

MongoDB Technical Services Engineers use their exceptional problem solving and customer service skills, along with their deep technical experience, to advise customers and to solve their complex MongoDB problems. Technical Service Engineers are experts in the entire MongoDB ecosystem - database server, drivers, cloud and infrastructure. This also includes services such as Atlas (database as a service), or Cloud Manager (which helps customers with automation, backup and monitoring of their MongoDB systems). Our engineers combine their MongoDB expertise with passion, initiative, teamwork and a great sense of humor to achieve exceptional results for our customers.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Austin for our hybrid working model.

Cool things you’ll do

MongoDB is on a mission to change the way people think about databases. Along the way, our customers encounter questions and issues about how our approach to databases works for their use case. In Technical Services, it's our job to help these people.

You'll be working alongside our largest customers, solving their complex issues - resolving questions on architecture, performance, recovery, security, and everything in between. You'll be an expert resource on standard methodologies in running MongoDB at scale, whatever that scale may be. You'll be an advocate for customers' needs - working with our product management and development teams on their behalf. And you'll contribute to internal projects, including software development of support tools for performance, benchmarking, and diagnostics. In addition, you will also be responsible for mentoring and ramping new team members and taking initiatives in building knowledge of new product lines within the MongoDB ecosystem.

• Broad awareness of customer workloads and use cases, including performance, availability, and scalability
• Experience analyzing issues holistically, from the application tier through the database, down to the storage
• Genuine desire to help people
• Ability to think on your feet, remain calm under pressure, and solve problems in real-time
• Desire and ability to rapidly learn a wide variety of new technical skills
• Collaboration: willingness and ability to get help from team members when required, and the good judgment to know when to seek help

Bonus Points

• Experience managing large scale databases (e.g. RDBMS, NoSQL)
• Experience with authentication systems such as LDAP, Kerberos, AD
• Experience using or managing MongoDB
• Experience using distributed version control systems, and in particular git
• Experience using any cloud services stack such as AWS, Azure or GCP
• Experience with Kubernetes or other orchestration systems using vendor-specific Enterprise operators

Success Measures

• In 3 months, you’ll have gained a deep understanding of MongoDB and its ecosystem. You will complete New Hire Training
• In 6 months, you will be comfortable working frontline with our customers. You will also complete the MongoDB Certified DBA Associate exam
• In 12 months, you will be a technical specialist within MongoDB and will be helping your peer engineers in advance diagnostics. Also, you will be encouraged to handle technical escalations independently
