Forward Deployed Engineer, Industry Solutions

This role will be based remotely in Toronto.

What you’ll do at MongoDB
In this role, you will:

Embed with ISV engineering teams, adapting to their codebase, practices, release cadence, and constraints while understanding their product architecture, industry context, data model, and deployment environment
Design and build MongoDB-backed product capabilities, including integrations, data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, migration tooling, and support for MongoDB alongside relational database editions
Design and implement coexistence and migration solutions, including synchronization, change data capture (CDC), dual writes, consistency, application refactoring, validation, and controlled cutover
Design and validate production-ready solutions for performance, scalability, resilience, observability, security, and operational readiness across MongoDB Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, Kubernetes-based private clouds, and self-managed or restricted on-premises environments
Enable partner engineers through collaborative development, code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing, while working with internal technical teams to resolve design questions and establish support boundaries
Capture reusable implementation patterns, tooling, product gaps, and lessons learned to accelerate future partner engagements

As an ideal candidate, you will have
5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building and operating production applications
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
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
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 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
Willingness to spend significant time on-site with ISV partners and travel within the region

As an ideal candidate, you may also have
Experience working for or with an ISV, or in a forward-deployed, embedded, resident-engineer, or partner-engineering role
Familiarity with event-driven and microservices architectures and technologies such as Kafka, as well as performance engineering, observability, resilience, or production-readiness reviews
Exposure to security and compliance requirements for ISVs serving regulated industries
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

What you will learn
Gain practical experience modernizing applications and delivering MongoDB solutions for partner products across different industries, including coexistence and migration scenarios in cloud-native environments, while developing reusable patterns and your technical and communication skills
Broaden your perspective on how data-intensive products evolve and develop the judgment to translate diverse product and operational requirements into practical MongoDB solutions
