INTRODUCTION
We are looking for an experienced Senior or Staff Engineer for our SRE, InfraSec team, to guide the security of our cloud-based infrastructure. As a Staff SRE, you will be very hands-on technically while also mentoring a small team of SREs. The InfraSec team collaborates closely with other engineering teams to ensure that our infrastructure adheres to the highest security standards. They build essential security infrastructure and implement controls that reinforce the platform’s security posture. This is an SRE team, which means you can expect a highly hands-on approach, tackling the technical challenges of implementing large scale solutions. This team is deeply involved in the technical aspects of security and the nuances of its actual implementation. This role can sit in our Austin, Seattle or San Francisco offices on a hybrid basis, or it can be fully remote while working from a location based in either Eastern or Central time zones.
Responsibilities
-
Cloud Security Design and Implementation: Help lead the design and deployment of security solutions for cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), including network and compute security, identity management, and cloud security posture management (CSPM)
-
Automation and Monitoring: Build automated solutions for real-time security monitoring, logging, and alerting in cloud environments. Leverage native cloud services and third-party tools for runtime security monitoring and anomaly detection
-
Security Tooling: Evaluate, implement, and manage cloud-native security tools and platforms for endpoint security, identity management (IAM), and CSPM
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
-
Experience: 6+ years of experience in SRE, infrastructure engineering or similar role, with a strong focus on security work, with ideally 2+ years in a senior or staff engineering role
-
Security Mindset: A comprehensive understanding of all facets of cloud environment security, spanning from foundational OS networking layers to cloud provider configurations. Proven experience in leading projects within security-focused areas, such as runtime scanning, security observability, CSPM, and more
-
Cloud Expertise: Strong experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP), including expertise in IAM, VPC networking, security groups, and cloud security tools (e.g., GuardDuty, Security Hub, CloudTrail)
-
Coding/Automation: Proficiency in at least one programming language (we use Golang but are language agnostic when it comes to hiring) and experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible) to automate security configurations and processes
-
Linux and Networking: Understanding of the underlying Linux and networking concepts, including low-level fundamentals, and how they work together in complex systems
-
Communication and Leadership Skills: Strong ability to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical teams. Ability to lead a small technical team and ensure success both meeting the team goals as well as personal growth for all team members

Align your certifications to MongoDB's stack
MongoDB's security roles frequently involve cloud-native environments and NoSQL infrastructure. Certifications like AWS Security Specialty or CCSP, paired with hands-on experience securing cloud databases, signal direct relevance before your resume even reaches a recruiter.
Target roles specifying database security experience
MongoDB hires cybersecurity professionals who understand data-layer threats specific to distributed systems. Filtering job postings for terms like 'data security,' 'cloud security architecture,' or 'application security' narrows your search to roles where your background maps most directly.
Browse MongoDB's open cybersecurity roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters MongoDB's cybersecurity listings by visa sponsorship type, so you can identify which roles align with your current status, whether that's F-1 OPT, H-1B, or TN, before applying.
Clarify your visa status early in screening
MongoDB sponsors multiple visa categories including H-1B, E-3, and TN. Disclosing your status during the initial recruiter call, not after an offer, allows their immigration team to confirm which pathway fits your timeline without stalling the process later.
Prepare a portfolio of security incidents you've owned
MongoDB's interview process for cybersecurity roles emphasizes ownership of real incidents, not theoretical knowledge. Document specific vulnerabilities you identified, the remediation steps you led, and measurable outcomes to reference in technical and behavioral rounds.

Find Cybersecurity at MongoDB JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does MongoDB sponsor H-1B visas for Cybersecurity roles?
Yes, MongoDB sponsors H-1B visas for cybersecurity positions. Because H-1B cap-subject petitions are subject to an annual lottery, your timing matters. If you're already on an approved H-1B through a previous employer, MongoDB can file an H-1B transfer without waiting for the next lottery cycle, which significantly simplifies the process.
Which visa types does MongoDB commonly sponsor for Cybersecurity roles?
MongoDB sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, and F-1 OPT and CPT for cybersecurity roles, along with immigrant pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for longer-term hires. Australian citizens often pursue the E-3, which bypasses the H-1B lottery entirely. Canadian and Mexican nationals working in qualifying cybersecurity occupations may be eligible for TN status at the border.
What qualifications and experience does MongoDB expect for Cybersecurity roles?
MongoDB's cybersecurity roles typically require a bachelor's degree in computer science, information security, or a related field, combined with hands-on experience in areas like cloud security, application security, or threat detection. Familiarity with MongoDB's own database technology, experience securing distributed systems, and relevant certifications such as CISSP or AWS Security Specialty strengthen your candidacy meaningfully.
How do I apply for Cybersecurity jobs at MongoDB?
You can browse MongoDB's open cybersecurity roles filtered by visa sponsorship type on Migrate Mate, which makes it straightforward to identify positions that match your immigration status. Once you find a relevant role, apply through MongoDB's careers portal. Prepare for multiple interview rounds covering security fundamentals, system design, and behavioral questions focused on past incident ownership.
How do I plan my timeline if MongoDB offers me a Cybersecurity role requiring visa sponsorship?
Timeline depends on your visa category. F-1 OPT allows you to start work quickly if authorization is already in place. E-3 and TN processing can move within weeks. H-1B transfers for existing visa holders take four to six weeks without premium processing. New H-1B cap-subject petitions must align with the October 1 fiscal year start, so an offer in early spring may mean waiting several months before your start date.
