About the role
MongoDB is eager to welcome a talented individual to our newly established Forward Deployed Engineering team, playing a pivotal role within our extended Research & Development organization. This team bridges the gap between application modernization initiatives and our Product and Engineering teams to drive innovation.
We are specifically looking for candidates located in Dublin to join our hybrid work environment.
Many organizations grapple with extensive legacies of outdated applications, facing challenges such as limited scalability, poor resilience, lengthy development cycles, high operational costs, and an inability to leverage cloud solutions. To combat these issues, companies are undertaking significant Application Modernization programs. MongoDB stands out as the premier developer data platform for transactional systems, offering unmatched scalability, resilience, and an exceptional developer experience, both in the cloud and on-premises. As organizations transition workloads from these legacy systems to modern platforms, often architected around microservices, MongoDB serves as a crucial enabler.
Transformations of this scale can be resource-intensive and fraught with risks. However, leveraging tooling based on generative AI can expedite these transitions like never before. The Forward Deployed Engineering team is tasked with exploring the capabilities of Generative AI technologies and providing critical insights to MongoDB's R&D teams to enhance future capabilities within MongoDB and its ecosystem.
As an Application Modernization Engineer, you will collaborate closely with project teams executing modernization initiatives for clients. Your responsibilities will include evaluating, building, and implementing tools for modernization projects, facilitating the adoption of these tools across various teams, identifying opportunities for tool deployment, selecting promising third-party tools, contributing to the creation of tooling prototypes, and shaping the product roadmap.
