Technical Director, Builder Relations

We are looking for a Technical Director to join Builder Relations, leading our team of talented Advocates in APAC. As more developers choose MongoDB as their data platform, your responsibilities will include directly engaging with customers and the community to deliver meaningful experiences and inspiring content.

You will empower developers—from startups to Fortune 500 companies—to integrate advanced data and AI capabilities into their applications and solutions. If you are passionate about equipping builders and cultivating a vibrant developer ecosystem, we invite you to join us in shaping the future of development on MongoDB.

Our Builder Relations teams are distributed across the globe, with most members working remotely. To see what our team is doing, check out our content on YouTube, Dev, and Medium.

This role can be remotely in the India region.

Candidate Profile

We are excited to welcome a technical leader to our team who, as a player & coach, will drive engagement with customers and the community in India and across the region. At the foundation of your expertise is a love to equip others through hands-on workshops, architectural reviews, and building relationships directly with customers, and at events and user groups. To be successful, you will have at least 10 years of experience as a database expert, and 5 years of experience as a people manager. Ideally, you will have additional experience in a customer-facing role (such as solution architect), teaching, or related technical role, where you’ve led or advised teams as they solve their enterprise's most critical data challenges, and have distributed code and content to support others. 

You are known for your deep database expertise (familiarity with other data technologies and the ability to quickly become proficient in MongoDB), your insight into developer enablement programs, and your ability to guide development teams in the adoption of new technologies. You’re an excellent public speaker and are comfortable sitting across the table from architects or delivering live enablement sessions to technical audiences of 40 to 400. You are already building with AI for productivity and exploring AI-native solutions. 

It is essential that you have a genuine passion for equipping other builders to be more productive and successful. Finally, you excel at explaining complex technical concepts in simple terms and have a natural ability to connect and communicate with developers of various skill levels. Your focus is not just on individual success but on the success of the entire team, consistent with MongoDB's value of Building Together.
