Job Description

The Role

AI Builder Experience (ABX) is MongoDB’s front door for the agentic era. We help human developers and coding agents discover, evaluate, and choose MongoDB, and we make MongoDB work naturally inside the AI-native tools, frameworks, and platforms where software is being built.

We are looking for an outstanding Staff Product Manager to own the Partner Platform: the products, experiences, and operating model that allow ecosystem partners to build trusted, high-quality MongoDB experiences for their users. This includes the Partner API and the broader path toward self-serve integrations, partner onboarding, enterprise controls, marketplace/discovery, and partner-managed experiences.

This is a role at the intersection of humans, machines, and partners. Human builders increasingly work through AI agents; AI agents need reliable interfaces, context, permissions, and tools; and partners determine where those experiences are discovered and adopted. You will make those three parts work together so MongoDB becomes the obvious database choice wherever AI-native software is created.

The role is highly cross-functional and highly visible. You will work with engineering, design, IAM, billing, security, documentation, analytics, product marketing, partnerships, field teams, and strategic customers and partners. You will be expected to operate as both a strategic product leader and a hands-on builder who can turn an ambiguous ecosystem opportunity into a clear product vision, strategy, and an executable roadmap.

What You’ll Do

Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the MongoDB Partner Platform, starting with the Partner API and evolving toward a scalable, self-serve industry leading partner experience
Turn partner and customer needs into clear product bets, sequencing near-term delivery against a compelling long-term platform strategy
Build the next phases of the Partner API, including self-serve onboarding, enterprise and administrator controls, partner-managed account creation and billing, partner discovery, and a high-quality integration bar
Establish a repeatable operating model for partner intake, design-partner engagement, integration support, launch readiness, documentation, incident response, and post-launch learning
Partner deeply with the Partner team, IAM, Billing, Security, Engineering, Design, Docs, Analytics, Product Marketing, Sales, and Technical Services to align all towards the cross-functional outcomes required
Work directly with strategic AI-native partners, cloud platforms, and similar to understand their users, business models, technical constraints, and adoption levers
Ensure the platform works for both human and agentic developers: APIs and tools must be understandable to people, usable by agents, observable, secure, and resilient under automation
Define the metrics that show whether the platform is creating value, e.g. partner activation, time to first successful integration, integration quality, end-user adoption, successful agentic workflows, cluster growth, and partner-influenced revenue
Create clear product narratives and communicate strategy to executives, engineering teams, partners, customers, and field stakeholders
Represent ABX and MongoDB externally as a credible voice on AI-native product development, developer ecosystems, and partner platforms

What We’re Looking For

8+ years of product management or equivalent experience, including ownership of complex technical products, platforms, APIs, developer tools, ecosystems, or partner integrations
Demonstrated success taking a product or platform from ambiguous opportunity through launch, adoption, and continued evolution
Deep technical fluency: you can reason about APIs, authentication and authorization, distributed systems, platform boundaries, integrations, data flows, reliability, and security trade-offs
Experience building products for developers, technical users, AI-native workflows, or platform ecosystems. Direct experience with AI agents, MCP, agent frameworks, agentic coding tools, or agentic developer platforms is strongly preferred
A clear point of view on the difference between building for human developers and building for AI agents, including implications for APIs, documentation, tooling, evaluation, observability, and quality
Strong partner and customer instincts, with experience translating external needs into a product strategy without becoming a collection of one-off feature requests
Ability to navigate complex and growing organizations, align teams without direct authority, and create momentum when ownership and dependencies are not obvious
Comfort balancing speed, security, quality, enterprise requirements, and long-term platform health in a fast-moving market
Strong analytical judgment and the ability to define meaningful outcomes even when the direct revenue line is indirect or still emerging
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you write clear documents, make trade-offs visible, and communicate effectively from engineering working sessions to executive reviews
Genuine enthusiasm for AI-native development and regular hands-on use of AI tools in your own work

Nice to Have

Experience with partner platforms, marketplaces, developer ecosystems, cloud platforms, databases, infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS
Experience with OAuth, delegated access, API governance, partner billing, provisioning, or multi-tenant product models
Experience with MongoDB, developer tools, application frameworks, or data infrastructure

Success Measures

Within 30 days:

Develop a deep understanding of the current Partner API, partner pipeline, design-partner experience, dependencies, launch commitments, and known gaps
Build strong working relationships with engineering, IAM, Billing, Security, Design, Partnerships, Docs, Analytics, Product Marketing, and the adjacent ABX PMs
Meet key partners and customers and understand the jobs they need the Partner Platform to accomplish for humans, agents, and their businesses
Produce a concise current-state assessment: what is working, what is fragile, what is one-off, and what must become platform capability

Within 60 days:

Evolve the Partner Platform vision and strategy, including clear ownership boundaries with AI Interfaces and AI Frameworks
Establish a metrics framework connecting partner integration quality and adoption to builder activation, Atlas usage, enterprise confidence, and business impact
Deliver an aligned roadmap for the next phases of Partner API, partner onboarding, enterprise controls, and partner platform capabilities
Identify the highest-leverage operating-model changes needed to improve partner speed, quality, and repeatability

Within 90 days:

Drive one or more high-impact improvements that materially improve partner onboarding, integration quality, enterprise readiness, or end-user adoption
Establish a credible plan for scaling from design partners to a broader ecosystem without relying on bespoke MongoDB-side work for every integration
Be recognized by engineering, design, partnerships, marketing, and field teams as a trusted product leader and effective cross-functional partner
Present a clear recommendation for the long-term Partner Platform shape, including the investments, sequencing, and trade-offs required to make MongoDB the default database for AI-native builders

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
