Forward Deployed Engineer, Industry Solutions

About the role

MongoDB is expanding its Industry Solutions Team, a flexible, globally distributed group that helps customers and partners modernize applications and data platforms with MongoDB. As a Forward Deployed Engineer in the Industry ISV Practice, you will work directly with independent software vendors (ISVs) and their engineering teams to embed MongoDB capabilities into their products. This is a hands-on application engineering role based remotely in Toronto, with regular travel and on-site time with ISV partners.

Key responsibilities

• Embed with ISV engineering teams, adapting to their codebase, practices, release cadence and constraints while understanding their product architecture, industry context, data model and deployment environment.
• Design and build MongoDB-backed product capabilities, including integrations, data models, indexes, queries, persistence layers, migration tooling and support alongside relational database editions.
• Design and implement coexistence and migration solutions, including synchronization, change data capture (CDC), dual writes, consistency, application refactoring, validation and controlled cutover.
• Design and validate production-ready solutions for performance, scalability, resilience, observability, security and operational readiness across MongoDB Atlas, Enterprise Advanced, Kubernetes-based private clouds and on-premises environments.
• Enable partner engineers through collaborative development, code reviews, documentation and knowledge sharing, and work with internal teams to resolve design questions.
• Capture reusable implementation patterns, tooling, product gaps and lessons learned to accelerate future partner engagements.

Required profile

• 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience building and operating production applications.
• Experience integrating a new database into a large production codebase and migrating production workloads.
• Experience with SaaS and product engineering, including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, versioned schemas and backward compatibility.
• Willingness to spend significant time on-site with ISV partners and travel within the region.
• Nice to have: ISV or forward-deployed engineer experience, event-driven/microservices architecture knowledge, security and compliance exposure, reusable tooling and MongoDB certification.

Required skills

• Strong MongoDB expertise: data modeling, aggregation, indexing, transactions, change streams and query semantics.
• Relational database fluency, including drivers or ORMs, indexing, transactions and query planning.
• Coding in at least two languages such as Java, C#/.NET, Node.js/TypeScript, Python or Go, plus APIs, distributed systems, containers and cloud deployments.
• Nice to have: Kafka, performance engineering, observability and production-readiness reviews.

What we offer

• Base salary range in Canada of $158,000-$220,000 CAD.
• Possible benefits: equity, stock purchase plan, flexible paid time off, 20 weeks fully-paid parental leave, fertility and adoption assistance, RRSP employer match, mental health counseling, child and elder care, and health, dental and vision benefits.
