With a strong security engineering background, you're looking for a role that gives you the freedom to increase MongoDB's resonance with customers by strengthening our products and the platforms they run on.
You're passionate about solving hard security engineering problems while putting a strong emphasis on customer experience.
You enjoy collaborating with teams across the company to innovate and implement pragmatic solutions that scale.
Who We Are
The MongoDB Product Security organization is a diverse collection of individuals working together to scale MongoDB's security—both the security of the products themselves and the security features we offer to customers.
We support the security of all customer-facing MongoDB products, including Atlas, Server ,and dozens of related services and tools .
Our organization:
Defines and drives an engaging, forward-looking security strategy for MongoDB and our customers
Builds a developer-driven security program tightly integrated with engineering artifacts, processes, and tooling
Uses software architecture and coding patterns to reduce the impact and likelihood of security issues
Serves as security subject-matter experts for our tech stack and products, from core database internals to large-scale cloud services
The ideal candidate will have...
7+ years of experience in application, product, or cloud security engineering, supporting the security of large-scale customer-facing products running in a major cloud provider, with exposure to the compliance, resilience, and operational demands that come with that environment
Strong security architecture fundamentals—able to design and review end-to-end systems, reason about threat models and risk tradeoffs, and recommend appropriate controls across application, data, and infrastructure in large distributed environments
Experience designing, building, and operating security tooling and automation that embeds meaningful controls into developer workflows, such as code and dependency analysis, policy enforcement, and self-service guardrails that make secure defaults the easiest path for engineers
A strong track record of partnering with software engineers: leading threat models, performing security design reviews, and developing an understanding of their product space to form pragmatic security recommendations and influence their prioritization
Strong communication skills—you can explain complex technical issues in a simple manner that builds trust with engineers, leaders, and customers
A strong sense of ownership and follow-through, paired with a collaborative working style—you bring others along, create space for their input, and offer specific, actionable feedback
In this role, you will...
Take ownership, define strategy, and drive improvements for key parts of our security program, which may include AI security reviews, code and dependency analysis, build and deployment system security, secrets management and internal access controls, or scoping out large cross-functional security initiatives across engineering teams
Advocate for and lead complex security projects from inception through completion—from initial problem framing and design reviews through rollout, documentation, and measurable improvements in posture
Drive architecture, patterns, and processes across engineering teams so that the secure path is the easiest path for developers building MongoDB's products
Partner closely with product and platform engineering teams to design and implement security controls in our software, systems, and CI/CD pipelines
Serve as a security subject-matter expert for software security and architecture in your areas of ownership, and a trusted advisor to partner teams when they face ambiguous risk trade-offs
Partner with cloud detection and response, SRE, and other security teams to create new detection and response capabilities or to support security events when product context is required
Educate the broader engineering organization through training, Hack 'n Tells, internal documentation, and one-on-one mentorship
