MongoDB jobs - Engineer

We're looking for engineers interested in helping us build the best technology education program in the industry. Our ideal candidate is a software developer who also loves to teach. You've built some non-trivial applications. But you also have a passion for explaining technical concepts in just the right way.

This is an outstanding role because it combines teaching and software engineering. You'll design highly technical instructor-led training courses with hands-on exercises to help people get the most out of MongoDB technologies. You'll also become a veritable MongoDB specialist. When applying, please let us know in a few words why you'd be a good fit. Polymath developer? Technology enthusiast? Who loves to speak and write? If any of these descriptions fits, then we'd love to hear from you!

• Evaluate customer training requirements, and turn those requirements into courses with clearly defined learning objectives and learning paths
• Design, develop, and maintain course materials. Course materials include presentation content, student and instructor guides, demo scripts, hands-on exercises, assessments and certification exam scenarios, and narration scripts
• Use feedback and survey data from students, instructors and MongoDB field engineering teams to create new courses and improve existing courses
• Spend up to two weeks each quarter co-delivering classes with a MongoDB instructor to gain firsthand experience of how course content is delivered and received
