About the Role

We are excited to welcome an influential individual to our team who, through their leadership and presence in the community, can highlight builder success and spread passion for MongoDB. You’re ready to put a program in place that features community and team members on camera (and microphone), showing builders the possibilities of using our platform.

At the foundation of your passion and expertise is a love to equip others through video, social, and community channels. Our ideal candidate will have at least 12 years of experience in a builder role, such as a software engineer, architect, or developer, where they deployed data-solutions in production. Ideally, they will have additional experience in a customer-facing role (such as solution architect), teaching, or related technical role, where they’ve used code and content to support others.

Though the expertise you bring will be unique, our team is built to work together to share knowledge and help each other grow. You will work with others at all levels, elevating their influence, reach, and presence across our industry. You should have a genuine passion for equipping other developers to be more productive and successful.
