Senior Solutions Architect

MongoDB Pre-Sales Solutions Architects are technical business advisors who help customers design, justify, and adopt reliable, scalable systems using MongoDB’s data platform. They own the technical strategy across complex opportunities—from discovery and qualification through architecture, proof of value, executive alignment, and successful adoption—and connect technical decisions to measurable business outcomes.

You’ll partner closely with Account Executives, Sales Leadership, Customer Success, Professional Services, and ecosystem partners to shape multi-threaded account strategies, build champions, de-risk complex architectures, and drive expansion. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to developers, architects, operations leaders, and business executives, helping organizations modernize legacy systems, build AI-powered applications, and realize measurable value from MongoDB.
