As a Senior Curriculum Engineer, you'll work with a team of creative educators and software engineers dedicated to building the future of online technical education, developing courses for MongoDB University.
MongoDB University is the online training department of MongoDB and is chartered with building high-quality training at a basic and advanced level across the entire MongoDB product stack. The University team is focused on creating skill-based learning content designed to equip enterprise users and a general audience with the core skills needed to use MongoDB successfully.
Your work will directly impact the learning experience of millions of developers around the world, helping them become experts in the field by honing their skills on the fastest-growing modern database.
This role will be based remotely in Ireland.
You’ll work closely with a team of curriculum engineers, curriculum designers, and in-house subject-matter experts to build course materials focused on upskilling enterprise customers. You'll write presentations for our partner teams, design hands-on activities, and deliver content, ensuring these MongoDB learning resources are relevant, interactive, and reflect the challenges developers encounter in the real world.
In this role, we expect you to continually deepen your knowledge of MongoDB and become an expert in a subset of its offerings. You will articulate the key concepts and skills that need to be covered in a training course, write course materials for an enterprise audience, design the hands-on exercises, and also support the creation of skill badges that assess a learner's knowledge.
If you are a current software developer or a system administrator, you will be able to add a lot of value to the team as we strive for our training to be from experts who already use our products or similar offerings. If you are new to MongoDB, you'll be expected to learn MongoDB products quickly and articulate how they work.
In this team, you will also get access to experts throughout the company and stay cutting-edge on your technical skills and expertise. MongoDB continues to evolve, and you will have the opportunity to explore new technology areas that will end up being represented as training offerings to train millions of developers in the future.
You’re a good fit for this role if you have a demonstrable track record in working with MongoDB or similar technologies already as a developer, DBA, or in some other capacity with a minimum of 3-5 years of industry experience. Your track record is more important than a Computer Science or similar degree. You should have writing and/or instructional experience that demonstrates an ability to communicate complex technical concepts to a general audience. We expect you to be able to review content and code. As a Curriculum Engineer, you are counting on your experience to translate technical concepts to help others learn MongoDB.
A development role. Some prototyping is required; however, the emphasis is on content development, instruction, and subject matter expertise.

MongoDB assigns one of four working models per role: In-Office, Flexible, Fully Remote, or Customer-Facing Remote, so remote eligibility is role-specific rather than company-wide. Most current openings are hybrid: of roughly 400 active roles, only about 27 are fully remote. Confirm the working model on the specific job before applying.
MongoDB has offices in more than a dozen cities, including New York (its headquarters), San Francisco, Palo Alto, Austin, London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Dublin, Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, Gurugram, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo. Active hiring spans more than 20 countries, concentrated in New York, Dublin, and Gurugram.
Compensation is geo-based, calibrated to the local market for each role. Equity is granted as RSUs that vest over four years (25% after the first year, then 6.25% each quarter), and employees can buy shares through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a 15% discount. Median total compensation sits around 217K USD.
Alongside medical, dental, and vision coverage, MongoDB offers unlimited PTO, paid parental leave for all caregiver designations, fertility, adoption, and gender-affirming care support, FSA and HSA options, and a learning-and-development budget with defined IC and management career pathways. Wellness perks are quantified at roughly 7,493 USD per year.
MongoDB is candid about intensity. Work-life balance is a recognized weak spot, with around half of employees reporting burnout, and the cadence is widely described as fast or extremely fast. It tends to suit people who thrive on high-growth momentum more than those seeking a steadier rhythm.
MongoDB fits developers and go-to-market professionals who want to work on a database platform at public-company scale with a broad, self-built product surface spanning Atlas, Vector Search, Stream Processing, Compass, and Charts. Sales roles see top-quartile quota attainment, and professional development ranks among the strongest in software.
