Principal Technologist at MongoDB

This role is designed for a heavyweight technical leader who excels at the intersection of high-level strategy and deep database engineering. The ideal candidate has over a decade of experience, likely as a Field CTO, Enterprise Architect, or Developer Advocate, with a proven track record of migrating Fortune 1000 companies from legacy systems (like Oracle or DB2) to modern, distributed architectures. You should be equally comfortable whiteboarding complex data models and presenting to C-suite executives. The compensation package is highly competitive, reaching up to $356k base, supplemented by robust benefits like 20 weeks of parental leave and equity. While the role lists an Austin office, it offers remote flexibility within the U.S. A standout feature is the platform it provides for personal branding; you will be a primary face of the company at global conferences and a key influencer of the product roadmap. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 10+ years of experience in technical consulting or software architecture at an enterprise scale. * Are an expert in RDBMS and NoSQL architectures, specifically regarding performance tuning and high availability. * Enjoy "evangelist" style work, including public speaking, blogging, and traveling (up to 50%) to meet with strategic customers. * Can code in Java, C#, or Python and translate that hands-on knowledge into executive-level business value.
