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.

This role solves technically sophisticated problems, gains incredible cross-stack experience, works with top-notch people in the business, networks with industry leaders, and sees new places – all in a day’s work!

MongoDB PS exists to support the development of our customers’ vision, accelerate customers’ time to value, and drive a multitude of customer adoption scenarios – from building new solutions to modernizing legacy applications or migrating to cloud. Our consulting solutions ensure that organizations get the best out of MongoDB.

As the leader of our newly established offshore modernization center, you will lead a team of Lead Developers and managers delivering solutions focussed on migrating legacy relational database-based Java applications to a modern cloud-based architecture running on MongoDB, leveraging the latest genAI tools and approaches to accelerate this process.
