TL;DR · Forward Deployed Architect, Industry Solutions

As a Forward Deployed Architect, Industry Solutions, you will join the Industry Solutions Team to serve as the technical design lead for engagements with independent software vendors. You will collaborate with partner development leaders and engineers to design how MongoDB integrates with and extends their products. Your daily responsibilities include defining data models, access patterns, and indexing strategies while designing coexistence architectures and migration paths from relational databases like Oracle or PostgreSQL. You will build reusable architecture patterns, migration playbooks, and code templates across environments including MongoDB Atlas and Kubernetes-based private clouds. The role requires expertise in backend engineering, application architecture, and SaaS product engineering. Key technical skills include advanced knowledge of MongoDB features like change streams and sharding, as well as experience with event-driven architectures involving technologies such as Kafka or Debezium.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical design for ISV engagements by defining data models, access patterns, and integration approaches.
  • Design MongoDB as a supported platform option alongside relational databases like Oracle or PostgreSQL.
  • Create coexistence architectures and migration paths including data flows, synchronization, and application refactoring.
  • Conduct design reviews of schemas, queries, indexes, and code against realistic partner workloads.
  • Architect solutions across Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, Kubernetes-based clouds, and on-premises environments.
  • Build reusable architecture patterns, migration playbooks, and code templates for future engagements.
  • Prototype critical paths, read partner code, and serve as the technical escalation point for engineers.
  • Communicate recurring technical gaps and patterns to MongoDB Product and Engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Must be based in Gurugram for the hybrid working model.
  • 8+ years of experience in backend engineering and application architecture delivering production software products.
  • Strong application-side MongoDB expertise including data modeling, aggregation, indexing, transactions, replication, and sharding.
  • Experience with at least one major relational database and integrating new databases into large production codebases.
  • Experience designing migrations of production workloads between relational databases and MongoDB.
  • Knowledge of SaaS and product engineering including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, and Kubernetes-based deployments.
  • Ability to influence stakeholders through technically sound designs while balancing delivery speed and maintainability.
  • Willingness to travel regularly to ISV partner locations.
  • Experience working inside an ISV or product company in a forward-deployed or resident-architect role (preferred).
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures and technologies such as Kafka or Debezium (preferred).
  • Experience with regulated or data-intensive industries and their security, compliance, and governance requirements (preferred).
  • MongoDB certification, Atlas experience, or knowledge of the broader MongoDB portfolio (preferred).
