Candidate Profile

As a Developer Advocate on the Strategics team, you are an accomplished developer ready to peer, mentor, and lead development teams as they solve their enterprise's most critical data issues. You are known for your deep MongoDB expertise (or familiarity with other data technologies and the ability to quickly become proficient in MongoDB), your insight into developer enablement programs, and your ability to guide development teams in the adoption of new technologies. You’re an excellent public speaker and are comfortable delivering live enablement sessions to technical audiences of 40 to 400. Your recent experience includes consulting with developers on data-related challenges and moving them toward solutions for their real-world performance and scalability problems. As a bonus, your experience also includes exercising soft leadership with decision makers in organizations for defining, adopting, and scaling data-related technologies. With a combination of at least 10 years of solutions development and consulting experience, you have a deep understanding of developer ecosystems and how developers best acquire fluency in new technologies. You have a robust working knowledge of databases, database performance, schema design, and optimizing production applications at scale. You employ a well-developed consulting method that allows you to quickly triage situations to understand the most critical issues at hand and to address them efficiently. Finally, you excel at explaining complex technical concepts in simple terms and have a natural ability to connect and communicate with developers of various skill levels. Collaboration and empowerment are at the heart of this team’s work style. You'll work closely with other team members to create and refine content, to deliver events, and to share insights, techniques, and best practices with the larger MongoDB team and with the broader developer community. Your focus is not just on individual success but on success of the entire team, consistent with MongoDB's value of Building Together.
