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.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Gurugram for our hybrid working model.

The Role

We are looking for an outstanding technical Senior Product Manager with deep experience of building advanced management systems for complex self-hosted systems. This person will be a key contributor in a product team focused on ensuring that our large and most advanced customers have success self-hosting MongoDB Enterprise Advanced - MongoDB's premium self-hosted offering. Enterprise Advanced is undergoing considerable business investment to deliver significant customer and business value and this role will be pivotal in delivering that success.

As our self-hosted offering, Enterprise Advanced is critical to enabling some of the most demanding customers - typically with workloads that are critical to customers' businesses, often with the highest security, availability and performance requirements. Many of these customers are looking to run MongoDB as a managed service, with high automation, excellent programmatic integrations with internal developer systems, and with centralized governance that enables our customers to empower their own developers (or sometimes customers) to self-serve to use MongoDB. 

To accomplish this, you will drive the evolution of a broad range of capabilities central to the Enterprise Advanced management experience, leading on the roadmap for numerous specific key areas, as well as collaborating as part of a team to evolve the broader vision, strategy and success for the entirety of Enterprise Advanced. This role will specifically focus on central management capabilities including: management APIs & programmatic support, authentication & authorisation, monitoring & alerting, automation & configuration for MongoDB database deployments, and the general experience of running Ops Manager at scale and high resilience.

This is a role covering a diverse technical area, and working with some of MongoDB's largest and most demanding enterprise customers. Experience of dealing with both aspects is critical. It's also essential that the successful candidate be a self-starter who can take a high level of personal ownership and accountability, can work easily across multiple teams, is passionate about helping customers succeed, and enjoys working in a dynamic, fast-paced, and challenging environment.

The Team

We are a highly collaborative team of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, Product Analysts, and Product Marketers, all working together to make the experience of working with data easy and enjoyable for developers.

We are a distributed team stretching from our offices in New Delhi, Berlin, Barcelona, the UK, NYC, to other locations in the US and worldwide. Every now and then, we all meet at one of our offices for project kickoffs, workshops, and other team events.

Role Responsibilities
  • Own the roadmap, customer experience and evolution of a large portion of Enterprise Advanced (EA), delivering a high quality management experience and first-class programmatic support for managing MongoDB. Ensure customers have a frictionless experience self-hosting MongoDB for some of the most advanced, automated, demanding, and complex workloads.
  • Collaborate across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, and Executive Leadership to deliver results.
  • Lead the evolution and execution of the roadmap for the given product space, leveraging learnings from deep engagement and research with customers, prospects, internal stakeholders, and partners.
  • Actively maintain a view of how the market, competition, and technologies are evolving, and factor that into product direction.
  • Bring a passion for careful data analysis to inform decisions.
  • Work with the various field teams to learn from them about customer needs and enable them to support customers.
  • Advocate for our EA customers—especially those programmatically automating management of MongoDB—with a passion for powerful but simplified management of advanced systems.
Requirements
  • 3+ years of product management or equivalent experience
  • Experience of developing or running (not just using) advanced management systems for complex, distributed, self-hosted systems. Particularly where such centralized management is delivered programmatically - via APIs or related tooling. (Does not need to be specific to databases)
  • Solid technical skills. We work primarily with our customers' DBAs and System Admins who are running MongoDB centrally for use by Application Developers, and our product managers must be just as technical and have working knowledge in these areas to better advocate for our users. While not expected to write production code or be an expert in databases, you should be comfortable reviewing a PR, exploring APIs, and speaking authoritatively on any technical aspects of your portfolio's tools.
  • Experience and demonstrated success in delivering software products to market.
  • Proven ability to balance strategic vision with tactical requirements, enabling effective decision-making in a fast-paced, growing team.
  • Strong analytical skills with a bias for action, and experience of using data to drive decisions and improvements.
  • Proven experience working directly with enterprise customers to gather insights, understand technical requirements, and inform product direction.
  • Experience working with external enterprise customers to gather insights, inform product direction, and manage customer expectations around delivering on customer requests.
  • Ability to write, defend, and execute a sound business case for new or ongoing product development.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical issues simply and convincingly to diverse audiences. 
  • B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent work experience.
Nice to have
  • Experience building advanced management systems for databases or related technologies.
  • Experience collaborating with customers in highly regulated industries, understanding the unique challenges and requirements they face.
  • Experience delivering products that are developer-focused.
  • Previous experience as a developer, operations engineer, or similar.
  • Solid understanding of Kubernetes and its concepts (as use of Kubernetes to run MongoDB and Ops Manager is growing)
