- Experience working with systems involving analytics, data pipelines, and metrics platforms

- Strong technical judgment, including the ability to evaluate tradeoffs, identify risks, and ask the right questions without needing to be hands-on in the code every day
- Ability to connect observability, engineering metrics, and AI capabilities to meaningful improvements in the developer ecosystem
- Excellent communication skills with engineers, peer managers, and senior leadership
- A track record of building inclusive, high-performing teams where engineers can do their best work
Position Expectations
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a team of engineers, fostering a culture of innovation, quality, collaboration, and continuous improvement
- Improve engineering visibility and decision-making. Ensure your team delivers the systems, analytics, and reporting needed for Engineering leadership to understand the health, performance, and efficiency of the software development lifecycle
- Evaluate, integrate, and build AI-enabled interfaces and tools that drive engineer productivity improvements, with a focus on measurable impact and responsible rollout
- Drive the roadmap. Partner with Staff and Senior Staff ICs, TPMs, and stakeholders to define and evolve a 12-month roadmap that balances near-term delivery with long-term platform investment
Success Measures
- In the first month, understand the team structure, active projects, and stakeholder landscape. Build trust with your direct reports and identify the top execution risks
- In three months, deliver meaningful improvements in at least one area, measured through adoption, reliability, or developer satisfaction, and establish yourself as a reliable partner to peers and leadership
- In twelve months, complete a full performance and growth cycle for your team, define a coherent multi-domain strategy, and drive measurable improvements in engineering effectiveness and developer experience across MongoDB
