About the team

The Technical Services team focuses on helping customers to be successful with MongoDB products. Learning and supporting these products will provide you a great deal of exposure to modern technologies such as Cloud, Kubernetes, configuration management tools and managing instances in the public cloud (AWS, GCP and Azure).

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 (our Cloud platform) and products that run on top of Atlas like Search, Data Lake and Realm serverless functions, triggers and mobile sync. Our engineers combine their MongoDB expertise with passion, initiative, teamwork, and a great sense of humor to help our customers be successful with MongoDB.

Cool things you’ll do

You'll be working alongside our largest customers, solving their complex challenges - resolving questions on architecture, performance, recovery, security, and everything in between. You'll be an expert resource on best practices in running MongoDB at scale, whatever that scale may be. You'll be an advocate for customers' needs - interfacing 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 this specific role, starting from the MongoDB database, you will also focus on the performance of our Cloud platform Atlas and its supported services. You will help both frontend and backend developers build next generation applications on MongoDB platform.

Technical Services puts a strong focus on engineers enabling their peers to be successful by sharing newly gained technical knowledge with the team, either via informal one-to-one conversations, or training and workshop sessions. By documenting solutions in our knowledge base system, Technical Services Engineers will increase the efficiency of our customers, other team members and departments throughout MongoDB.
