The worldwide data management software market is massive (IDC forecasts it to be $137.6 billion by 2026!). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading developer data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

MongoDB is looking for an outstanding field engineer to join our team and take on a key role in our extended R&D organisation. The role will work directly with MongoDB Field teams and Professional Services and large Enterprise customers engaged in application migration initiatives - moving from legacy relational databases to MongoDB.

Helping our customers convert legacy applications to a MongoDB-based solution environment, preferably composable, MACH design, is a significant opportunity.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing a deep understanding of the technical challenges associated with customer’s application migration initiatives, guiding successful use of MongoDB tools and products that support the migration, and helping shape our product roadmap.
