Forward Deployed Engineer, Industry Solutions

MongoDB is hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer, Industry Solutions in Gurugram.

MongoDB is the modern database platform and consistently voted the #1 most wanted database, preferred by developers. MongoDB continues to attract the most demanding and innovative companies and development teams in enterprise software. To support this growth, we are expanding our Industry Solutions Team (IST), a flexible, globally distributed organization that helps customers and partners modernize applications and data platforms with MongoDB. As a Forward Deployed Engineer in our Industry ISV Practice, you will work directly with independent software vendors (ISVs) and their engineering organ

Responsibilities

• Embed with ISV engineering teams, adapting to their codebase, practices, release cadence, and constraints while understanding their product architecture, industry context, data model, and deployment environment

• Design and build MongoDB-backed product capabilities, including integrations, data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, migration tooling, and support for MongoDB alongside relational database editions

• Design and implement coexistence and migration solutions, including synchronization, change data capture (CDC), dual writes, consistency, application refactoring, validation, and controlled cutover

• Design and validate production-ready solutions for performance, scalability, resilience, observability, security, and operational readiness across MongoDB Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, Kubernetes-based private clouds, and self-managed or restricted on-premises environments

• Enable partner engineers through collaborative development, code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing, while working with internal technical teams to resolve design questions and establish support boundaries

• Capture reusable implementation patterns, tooling, product gaps, and lessons learned to accelerate future partner engagements

As an ideal candidate, you will have

• 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building and operating production applications

• Strong application-side expertise with MongoDB, including data modeling, access patterns, aggregation, indexing, transactions, change streams, and a clear understanding of query and transaction semantics

• Application-level fluency with at least one major relational database, including relational data modeling, access patterns, database drivers or ORMs, indexing, transactions, query planning, and transaction-isolation assumptions

• Experience integrating a new database into a large production codebase and migrating production workloads, including persistence abstractions, data synchronization, dual-write or CDC patterns, application refactoring, validation, and incremental rollout

• Strong coding ability in at least two languages such as Java, C#/.NET, Node.js/TypeScript, Python, or Go, plus experience with APIs, distributed systems, containers, and cloud or self-managed deployment environments

• Experience with SaaS and product engineering, including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, versioned schemas, and backward compatibility, together with the ability to work effectively in unfamiliar codebases and explain technical trade-offs clearly

• Willingness to spend significant time on-site with ISV partners and travel within the region

As an ideal candidate, you may also have

• Experience working for or with an ISV, or in a forward-deployed, embedded, resident-engineer, or partner-engineering role
