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 anywhere—on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 developers joining MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

MongoDB Education has a mission to empower MongoDB developers through interactive learning, documentation, and community. Product Documentation (Docs) is a key piece of the education portfolio and serves over 1M learners each month.  Docs includes content coverage across all of MongoDB’s products and is delivered on a platform which features a rich learning experience. The Docs Content team is a diverse team of dedicated technical writers who author the product content in collaboration with the product engineers in the company. The Docs engineering team maintains a platform to support these writers, ingest content on a daily basis from our writers, and deliver it for consumption. This platform uses MongoDB technology including the database, search, vector search, etc. along with continuous Integration and continuous delivery (CD/CD), AI, parsing and publishing capabilities to deliver sites in English in 3 other languages. The Program Management team within the Education organization provides project management and tracking on all key content and platform engineering programs. Programs include improvements to all aspects of how the platform is engineered along with how content is developed. This group has visibility to all Education projects in Documentation and MongoDB University which drive online training.
