Product Manager, Developer Education

The database market is massive (IDC estimates it to be $121B+ by 2025!), and MongoDB is at the head of its disruption. At MongoDB, we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use daily. We are the leading modern data platform and the first database provider to IPO over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

Developers interface with MongoDB in many ways, including the programming language, frameworks and libraries, IDEs, the MongoDB server, and a variety of other products, both created by MongoDB and not. As Product Manager for Developer Education, you will understand the software engineers who build applications on MongoDB - end to end - and how they discover, learn, and begin to use those technologies.

This is a rare opportunity to join a team working alongside partners, marketing, support, developer relations, documentation and engineering. It’s a huge role for the right person, and an incredible opportunity to be part of a company that is leading innovation in the $60B data storage market. We prefer candidates in San Francisco or New York City, but are open to remote North America candidates.
