Our flagship platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database available in over 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

- A strong customer-centric mindset, focused on delivering tangible business value.
- Excellent skills in gathering requirements and collaborating with a diverse range of engineers and stakeholders.
- A basic understanding of Python and introductory Prompt Engineering.
- Knowledge of core concepts related to data lakes, data warehousing, and data security.
- Familiarity with data catalog features, business glossaries, metadata management, and data lineage.
- Insights into cloud computing concepts and big data storage formats like Parquet and Iceberg.
- The ability to manage multiple projects concurrently.
- A passion for lifelong learning and a drive for continuous improvement.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Collaborate with Product Owners and stakeholders to outline data requirements, using your expertise to add value and ensure clarity.
- Evaluate incoming product telemetry data, ensuring it aligns with documentation and meets expectations through rigorous testing and verification.
- Design data models and schemas for our internal data lake and data warehouse, making them ready for analysis and data science.
- Create and implement test plans to validate data accuracy and ensure performance meets our service level agreements (SLAs).
- Develop SQL-based data pipelines with a focus on consistency and accuracy.
- Establish and maintain data security standards for data access.
- Document metadata and data lineage in our enterprise data catalog, enabling self-service data exploration.
How We Measure Success:
- In your first 3 months, you’ll be fully on board with our Business and Data teams.
- By month 6, you’ll have delivered at least one well-documented data model that brings real value to the organization.
- After a year, you’ll have successfully contributed multiple data models across various use cases and feel at home with all aspects of our internal data platform.
