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.
Build & Grow Developer Relations Team enables our most strategic customers to effectively use MongoDB technology. This team is the tip of the spear within these accounts, working with their developers as well as key internal MongoDB stakeholders (e.g., Sales, Marketing), to encourage adoption of MongoDB solutions. We're seeking a Senior Developer Advocate to join our team and drive developer enablement.
Our mission is to capture the imagination of new and potential MongoDB developers within these accounts, to enable developers as they begin their MongoDB journey, and to lead developers in designs for new or replatformed workloads. Our team increases developers’ effective use of MongoDB and reduces the time it takes for developers to meaningfully use the platform. You will join a team of our most experienced engineers and host virtual and in-person engagement with customers throughout the world. If you’re passionate about data and helping developers create some of the most performant, scalable, and efficient solutions of their careers, then join us in shaping the future of development on MongoDB.
Our Developer Relations teams are distributed around the world and a majority of the group works remotely. This is a UK / Europe based role primarily working with customers in the region.
This role can be based remotely in the Ireland region.
