Enablement Engineer, GenAI

MongoDB’s mission is to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data. We enable organizations of all sizes to easily build, scale, and run modern applications by helping them modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our industry-leading developer data platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available in more than 115 regions across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Atlas allows customers to build anywhere—on the edge, on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 developers joining MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.

MongoDB Professional Services (PS) works with customers of all shapes and sizes, in all verticals, from tier-1 banks to small web startups, on a variety of exciting use cases. This role solves technically sophisticated problems, gains incredible cross-stack experience, works with top-notch people in the business, networks with industry leaders, and sees new places – all in a day’s work!

MongoDB PS exists to support the development of our customers’ vision, accelerate customers’ time to value, and drive a multitude of customer adoption scenarios – from building new solutions to modernising legacy applications or migrating to cloud. Our consulting solutions ensure that organisations get the best out of MongoDB.

The Services Delivery Enablement (SDE) team, within MongoDB Professional Services, is responsible for designing and developing technical enablement programs for a broad set of stakeholders within the MongoDB PS team and its consulting partner organisations. This includes consulting engineers, database administrators, and developers. Moreover, the team is a driving force behind consulting processes, playbooks, systems and tools to ensure these technical professionals are at the top of their game so that we provide a world-class customer experience.

Artificial Intelligence, while not a new field, continues to advance rapidly and has recently gained significant attention. As a result, our customers’ needs and use cases are being radically transformed. 

We are seeking an experienced customer-facing developer, with hands-on Artificial Intelligence experience, to take the MongoDB PS team to the next level of expertise in deploying AI-related solutions and offerings for our customers.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in London for our hybrid working model.
