This role can be based out of our Palo Alto or San Francisco offices.
Responsibilities
Develop and communicate a compelling enterprise architecture vision aligned to MongoDB’s long-term business strategy and technology roadmap
Reduce tech sprawl - Define architecture principles, and standards that guide solution design, data integration, cloud infrastructure, security, and application development
Partner with leadership across IT, engineering, and business functions to drive architectural alignment, eliminate tech debt, and improve interoperability across systems
Enable the enterprise to be “AI-ready” by championing modern data, integration, and automation architecture foundations that power GenAI, analytics, and decision intelligence
Establish strong architecture governance to ensure systems are designed for scale, security, and resilience, while reducing redundancy and fragmentation
Lead modernization initiatives to rationalize legacy platforms and promote reusable, composable architecture patterns (e.g., APIs, microservices, event-driven architecture)
Provide architectural leadership in build vs. buy decisions, balancing time-to-value with long-term scalability and cost
Build and develop a world-class team of enterprise and domain architects; create a strong community of practice to share learnings and best practices
Champion business architecture thinking to ensure technology decisions are grounded in business capabilities and customer outcomes
Track emerging technologies and bring outside-in perspective to influence MongoDB’s future enterprise architecture direction

Success Measures
In 90 days: You’ve built trust across business and technology leadership, assessed the current architectural landscape, and identified high-priority opportunities to improve alignment and reduce complexity
In 6 months: You’ve rolled out foundational architecture principles and governance, delivered early wins in simplifying key areas, and gained alignment on the 18–24 month enterprise architecture roadmap. You would have tangible benefits in controlling tech and AI sprawl.
In 12 months: You've built a high-performing architecture team, driven adoption of scalable, AI-ready architecture patterns, and positioned MongoDB for continued growth through a unified, future-ready technology foundation
