  • Experience working with APIs and other application integration technologies
  • Broad awareness of customer workloads and use cases, including performance, availability, and scalability
  • Experience analyzing issues holistically, from the application tier through the database, down to the storage

  • Desire and ability to rapidly learn a wide variety of new technical skills
  • Collaboration: Ability to work collaboratively amongst cross-functional teams (partner, sales, support, customer success, etc)
Success Measures
  • In 3 months, you'll have gained a deep understanding of MongoDB and its partner ecosystem. You will complete New Hire Training.
  • In 6 months, you will be comfortable working frontline with our customers and partners. You will also complete the MongoDB Certified DBA Associate exam.
