Can I work fully remotely at MongoDB?

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.

Which locations does MongoDB hire in?

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.

How does MongoDB handle compensation and equity?

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.

What benefits does MongoDB offer?

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.

What is the work pace like at MongoDB?

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.

Who thrives at MongoDB?

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.
