The Team Platform Engineering is the department within SRE that is responsible for a range of critical infrastructure and operational functions that support the broader engineering organization. Among these are our multi-cloud-provider Kubernetes infrastructure, networking, load balancing (including our public-facing edge and internal service mesh), and observability and alerting systems. The Fleet Management team provides the core runtime environment that empowers our developers to build and ship products to delight our customers. We manage the end-to-end lifecycle of our Kubernetes fleet, alongside the critical components that ensure cluster reliability and security (e.g., CoreDNS, cert-manager, and Gatekeeper). As our infrastructure scales to support new use cases and products, we are spearheading a migration from Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to an Operator-driven lifecycle management model. This role can be based out of our Austin, Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, Raleigh, or San Francisco offices, or remotely in the United States region.
Responsibilities
- Manage a team of 6-8 engineers, fostering a positive culture, handling career growth and performance conversations, and proactively removing blockers
- Help develop a clear technical vision and comprehensive roadmap for our runtime environment, balancing long-term strategic infrastructure goals with immediate engineering needs
- Contribute through light hands-on technical work, such as leading architectural design reviews, reviewing PRs, and stepping in to guide the team through complex operational challenges
- Act as the primary liaison for the Fleet Management team, collaborating closely with other engineering leaders to ensure platform alignment and manage stakeholder expectations
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
You may be a good fit if you:
- Have 10+ years of experience working on software and operating distributed systems, with 2+ years managing engineering teams
- Possess a customer-focused mindset, treating internal developers as your primary users
- Value efficiency in processes and operations, and have a track record of optimizing team workflows
- Prefer automation over manual processes ("allergic to ops work"), fostering a culture of building software solutions to eliminate toil
- Have deep technical familiarity with Kubernetes ecosystems, containerization technologies, and modern IaC tooling (e.g., Terraform, Crossplane, or Operators) so you can effectively guide the team's technical decisions
- Excel at translating complex business and engineering requirements into actionable, phased technical roadmaps
- Have a high level of empathy, responsibility, ownership, and accountability
- Excellent verbal and written technical communication skills
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Strong candidates may also have experience with:
- Leading major architectural shifts, such as migrating teams from traditional IaC to Operator-driven lifecycle management
- Managing and scaling infrastructure across multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Designing secure, multi-tenant runtime environments at scale

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Engineering Jobs at MongoDB Jobs
Align your GitHub profile with MongoDB's stack
MongoDB's engineering roles heavily reference experience with distributed systems, Go, C++, and Kubernetes. Recruiters screen for this before interviews. Tailor your public repositories and README files to reflect that stack before applying.
Confirm LCA filing timing before accepting offers
MongoDB must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before USCIS can process your H-1B petition. Ask your recruiter where in that cycle they are so your start date expectations stay realistic.
Target roles explicitly open to visa sponsorship
Not every Engineering opening at MongoDB is listed as sponsorship-eligible in the same way. Use Migrate Mate to filter for roles at MongoDB that are actively open to sponsored candidates, saving time on applications that won't move forward.
Prepare your specialty occupation documentation early
USCIS requires that your role qualifies as a specialty occupation under the H-1B standard. For software engineering, gather official transcripts, degree equivalency evaluations if your degree is from outside the U.S., and any publications or specialized certifications ahead of your petition.
Negotiate your start date around OPT cap-gap coverage
If your F-1 OPT expires before your H-1B activates on October 1st, cap-gap rules can bridge the gap only if your petition was filed before your OPT end date. Coordinate your MongoDB offer timeline with your DSO to ensure continuous work authorization.

Find Engineering at MongoDB JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does MongoDB sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, MongoDB sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering roles. The company works with immigration counsel to file Labor Condition Applications with the DOL and I-129 petitions with USCIS on behalf of sponsored employees. H-1B sponsorship is standard for qualifying Engineering positions, though your role must meet USCIS specialty occupation requirements tied to your specific job duties and degree field.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at MongoDB?
Applications go through MongoDB's careers portal at mongodb.com/careers. Engineering roles span software, infrastructure, and reliability teams across multiple locations. Filter by department and location to find open positions. Migrate Mate also curates MongoDB Engineering roles that are open to visa-sponsored candidates, which makes it easier to identify the right openings without reviewing every listing manually.
Which visa types does MongoDB commonly use for Engineering roles?
MongoDB sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for Engineering staff. Australian citizens are typically routed to the E-3 given its faster processing and no lottery requirement. Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering occupations may qualify for TN status, which can be obtained at a port of entry.
What qualifications are expected for Engineering roles at MongoDB?
MongoDB's Engineering roles generally expect a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. For USCIS H-1B purposes, your degree must align with the specific role. Beyond credentials, MongoDB's hiring process assesses system design depth, proficiency in relevant languages like Go or C++, and familiarity with distributed systems concepts given MongoDB's core product focus.
How do I plan my timeline if MongoDB is sponsoring my visa?
Timeline depends on which visa applies to your situation. H-1B sponsorship requires filing during the April registration window with an October 1st start date, so offers made mid-year often carry a built-in wait. E-3 and TN petitions can be processed in weeks. USCIS premium processing is available for H-1B petitions and reduces adjudication to 15 business days. Discuss timing openly with MongoDB's HR or immigration team as early as the offer stage.
