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.
This role is ideal for someone who understands the intricacies of and has a strong interest in highly technical products (e.g., databases, streaming platforms). Ideally, the candidate is passionate about building a career in early-stage technology investing, with a focus on infrastructure software.

Qualifications

- A love for technology and a natural ability to understand its impact on products, business models, and markets
- An existing interest in and network around early-stage technology companies
- A team-first, ownership mentality—each team member contributes to achieving goals, regardless of the task
