Staff Product Manager, Identity and Security will lead strategic initiatives across authentication, authorization, and access control for MongoDB Atlas, the core database engine, and emerging developer platforms. The role involves shaping multi-year product strategies for non-human identity, including workload identity federation, zero-trust passwordless access, Model Context Protocol integrations, and autonomous AI agentic identity. You will partner with engineering and UX teams to build enterprise-grade, developer-friendly experiences while navigating complex backend infrastructure. Key technical requirements include deep knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, and RBAC/ABAC policies.

The role addresses the critical challenge of securing AI agent workflows and managing machine-to-machine service meshes within a multi-tenant, distributed database environment.
