Manager, Technical Services

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.

Technical Services has nearly 200 global team members in offices spanning the entire globe. The team has offices in New York City, Toronto, Austin, Palo Alto, Vancouver, Sydney, Gurgaon (India), Tel Aviv, Dublin, and Buenos Aires. Outstanding customer satisfaction is achieved utilizing a 24x7x365 'follow-the-sun' support model with regional teams covering the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions.

We have an incredible opportunity for a transformational individual to join the MongoDB Technical Services team, leading a regional team of MongoDB 'core' Support Engineers.
