MongoDB is looking for an outstanding person to join our newly created Field Engineering team and take on a key role in our extended R&D organization. Field Engineering is linking the work of teams engaged on application modernization roles with our Product and Engineering teams. We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Barcelona for our hybrid working model.
Many organizations have built up large estates of legacy applications. Lack of scalability and resilience, long development times, operating costs, and inability to run on cloud are common issues with these applications. To address these issues, organizations are engaging in large transformational Application Modernization programs. MongoDB is recognized as the developer data platform of choice for transactional systems that provide the best scalability, resiliency, and developer experience in the cloud as well as on premises. Organizations are continuously migrating workloads from these legacy applications to new platforms, often based on microservices, using MongoDB.
Such transformations are very time intensive and often risky. Tooling based on generative AI promises to accelerate these transformations in a way never seen before. Field Engineering is responsible for exploring the possibilities of Generative AI technologies and providing invaluable feedback to MongoDB's R&D teams to drive future capabilities of MongoDB and the MongoDB ecosystem.
Application Modernization Field Engineers
Application Modernization Field Engineers will work alongside project teams that are executing Application Modernization projects with customers. The successful candidate will be responsible for:
Evaluation, build, and applying tools in modernization projects.
Facilitating the usage of such tools and processes across the different project teams.
Identifying opportunities for tooling deployment.
Selecting potential 3rd party tools.
Contributing to the development of tooling prototypes.
Helping to shape the product roadmap.
Our Ideal Candidate
Our ideal candidate will have:
5+ years of experience as a field engineer, professional services consultant, or full stack developer working directly with Enterprise clients.
Proficiency in Javascript AND Java or C#, and some familiarity with common database access patterns and frameworks in one or more of these languages.
Expert level knowledge about enterprise-scale software architectures, application development methodologies, and software deployment and operations.
Deep experience developing enterprise applications using relational databases, employing SQL and stored procedures with Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase, and/or PostgreSQL databases.
Experience of using and developing with MongoDB and JSON based Document models is highly desirable.
Problem-solving skills, including the ability to collaborate across disciplines and teams to come up with creative solutions to technical and business challenges.
Willingness to dive into a complex domain, ask the right questions, and bring new software tools and technologies to the table to solve customer problems.
Great communication skills (both spoken and written), within the team and in customer meetings.
Good understanding of Generative AI concepts, tools, and services. Any experience to build new applications/tools using Generative AI is a big plus.
A strong interest in how AI-supported toolchains can improve application development.
