Engineering Manager

AI frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and n8n are quickly becoming the default way developers build with AI — and MongoDB wants to be the data platform that shows up everywhere they build. As part of the AI Builders Experience org at MongoDB, we’re forming a brand new engineering team to make that happen, and we're looking for the founding Engineering Manager to hire the team, set the technical direction, and ship integrations into some of the fastest-moving open-source ecosystems in tech.

In this role, you'll be close enough to the code to jump into exploratory work yourself while also building the team, process, and operational rigor to keep a growing integration portfolio healthy long-term. The new team will work mostly in Python and TypeScript while collaborating closely with client library teams and other engineering groups across MongoDB that deliver the underlying driver, platform, and product capabilities needed to support these integrations well. 

You’ll collaborate closely and move quickly with product, partners, field teams, the developer community, and open source project maintainers to ship where demand is real, deepen investment where adoption proves out, and evolve the portfolio over time as it becomes a critical part of MongoDB’s future in AI.

MongoDB engineering teams pride themselves on building high-quality software and living our values every day. We value intellectual curiosity, intellectual honesty, customer empathy, and building together in an environment that prioritizes collaboration over competition.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Gurugram for our hybrid working model.

Position expectations

• Work closely with recruiting to hire a team of Python and TypeScript engineers who will build and own MongoDB integrations across a broad AI framework ecosystem that includes technologies like Langchain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, n8n, and Mastra
• Execute effectively in a fast-moving environment where priorities may shift week to week based on framework changes, customer demand, partner needs, and strategic opportunity. Deliver quickly while keeping a high standard of technical quality
• Flag issues, concerns, and resource needs early, working with management to triage, staff, borrow expertise, and cross-functionally hand off completed projects as needed
• Work closely with product managers, program managers, sales, GTM, and peer engineering teams to define, prioritize, and deliver capabilities that improve the builder experience and strengthen MongoDB’s position in the AI framework ecosystem; help decide where to invest effort and where to pull back
• Manage dependencies on drivers, platform capabilities, and other MongoDB product surfaces required to deliver excellent framework integrations
• Collaborate with external teams who own open source projects MongoDB integrates with, maintaining a high standard of professionalism and courtesy to work effectively through external maintainer review cycles to land high-quality upstream contributions
• Jump in to do initial, exploratory work. Guide key decisions, unblock the team, and contribute when needed as projects grow
• Own the monitoring, operations, maintenance, and ongoing quality of a broad, evolving integration portfolio; develop testing strategy, release readiness, and operational follow-through after launch
• Help the team build and maintain sustainable engineering practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, version compatibility awareness, and strong integration health over time
• Develop a team that stays current with the Python, TypeScript, and broader AI builder ecosystems, including important frameworks, community discussions, and emerging patterns; maintain awareness of trends and discourse in contemporary AI
• Bring a research and discovery min
