The worldwide data management software market is massive (According to IDC, the worldwide database software market, which it refers to as the database management systems software market, was forecasted to be approximately $82 billion in 2023 growing to approximately $137 billion in 2027. This represents a 14% compound annual growth rate). 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.

We're seeking a PHP Developer Advocate to join our Developer Relations team, driving enablement for MongoDB capabilities in the PHP community. As developers increasingly choose MongoDB as their data platform, your role will involve directly engaging the community, creating inspiring resources and content, and collaborating with a global team of skilled Developer Advocates. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, you'll empower developers to integrate advanced data capabilities into their apps and solutions. If you're passionate about PHP and enjoy fostering a vibrant developer ecosystem, join us in shaping the future of development on MongoDB.

Our Developer Relations team is distributed worldwide, and most of the group works remotely. This role can work from North America, South America, or Europe locations. Please check out our latest content and activity to see what our team is doing.

We are excited to welcome an influential and established voice in the PHP community to our team. 

As an experienced PHP developer, you have produced various types of technical content, such as videos, blog posts, and conference talks. Your content has shared technical insights, led discussions, and inspired others to use best practices. Your passion lies in sharing your knowledge and enabling fellow developers with modern technology and best practices.

You have at least five years of experience in a technical role, preferably as a developer, working within an enterprise or directly with customers. You might have some experience as a developer advocate or have been doing advocacy tasks, and now looking to do it full-time. Although it is not mandatory, a general understanding of MongoDB would be a plus. However, you must have extensive experience with one major framework and a complementary programming language. 

Your contributions to open-source projects or other code-sharing platforms demonstrate your ability and enthusiasm to help others get started or solve innovative problems.

As an effective teacher, you can explain complex issues in a simple, understandable manner. You will develop expertise in MongoDB, document modeling, and emerging topics across our industry while appreciating the key capabilities of our platform.

Our team is built to work together, share knowledge, and help each other grow. You will work with others at all levels, supporting peer reviews, building demos, delivering sessions, and creating content.

Above all, you should be genuinely passionate about enabling other developers to be more productive and successful in their day-to-day jobs.
