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.
At MongoDB, we believe data is at the core of the AI era. As AI-powered applications evolve from prototypes to mission-critical solutions, the foundation for success lies in designing systems that provide relevant and trustworthy responses. MongoDB is redefining the role of the database in this landscape, positioning our data layer as the cornerstone of modern AI applications. To support our customers’ journey, we are expanding our AI offerings and resources, demonstrating how our data platform powers the evolving AI tech stack. With the acquisition of Voyage.ai and our dedicated AI Practice, we are accelerating our product capabilities and working closely with customers to bring their AI ambitions to life.
This role will be based remotely in India.
