Job description
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 and run applications anywhere—on premises, or across cloud providers. With offices worldwide and over 175,000 new developers signing up to use MongoDB every month, it’s no wonder that leading organizations, like Samsung and Toyota, trust MongoDB to build next-generation, AI-powered applications.
As a Senior Curriculum Engineer, you’ll work with a team of creative educators and software engineers dedicated to building the future of online technical education, developing courses for MongoDB University.
MongoDB University is the online training department of MongoDB and is chartered with building high quality training at a basic and advanced level across the entire MongoDB product stack. The University team is focused on creating skill-based learning content, designed to equip enterprise users and a general audience with the core skills needed to successfully use MongoDB.
Your work will directly impact the learning experience of millions of developers around the world, helping them become experts in the field by honing their skills on the fastest growing modern database.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.
What You’ll Do
You’ll work closely with a team of curriculum engineers, curriculum designers, and in-house subject-matter experts to build course materials focused on upskilling enterprise customers and a general learning audience. You’ll write learning videos, design hands-on labs, and deliver content, ensuring these MongoDB learning resources are relevant, interactive, and reflect the challenges developers encounter in the real world.
In this role, we expect you to continually grow your knowledge of MongoDB and become an expert who knows a subset of MongoDB offerings in depth. You will articulate the key concepts and skills that need to be covered in a training course, write course materials for an enterprise audience, design the hands-on exercises and also support the creation of skill badges that assess a learner’s knowledge.
If you are a current Developer or a current Administrator of MongoDB, you will be able to add a lot of value to the team as we strive for our training to be from experts who already use our products. If you currently provide technical assistance or consulting for MongoDB solutions, you will also be able to add value to this team. If you are new to MongoDB, you’ll be expected to learn MongoDB products quickly and articulate how they work.
In this team, you will also get access to experts throughout the company and stay cutting edge on your technical skills and expertise. MongoDB continues to evolve and you will have the opportunity to explore new technology areas that will end up being represented as training offerings to train millions of developers in the future.
Your core responsibilities and duties will include the following:
- Ideate and write skill-based course materials and videos
- Create code and visualizations to demonstrate technical concepts as you teach MongoDB
- Develop hands-on lab exercises to help learners experience MongoDB technologies
- Collaborate with in-house subject-matter experts, curriculum designers, video producers, product and marketing managers to develop a course from discovery to launch
- Opportunity to represent MongoDB at public events such as webinars and conferences as training is featured prominently at MongoDB events
- Present content in learning videos, recording in our studio in New York
- Become an expert on part of the MongoDB product set to help drive content strategy and direction along with our Product Strategy and Curriculum team
- Continually expand your domain knowledge of MongoDB, software development, and learning sciences
What You’ll Need
You’re a good fit for this role if you have a demonstrable track record in working with MongoDB or similar technologies already as a developer, DBA or some other capacity with a minimum of 3-5 years industry experience. Your track record is more important than a Computer Science or similar degree. You should have writing and/or instructional experience that demonstrates an ability to communicate complex technical concepts for a general audience. We expect you to be able to review content and code. As a Curriculum Engineer, we are counting on your experience to translate technical concepts to help others learn MongoDB.
What this is not
A development role. Some prototyping is required however the emphasis is on content development, instruction, and subject matter expertise.
You’ll be successful in this role if your qualifications and skills match the following
- Proven track record in working with databases, MongoDB or NoSQL experience preferred
- Experience writing and teaching instructional content for a general audience
- Proficiency in at least one contemporary programming language (Python, Node.js, Java, etc.)
- Basic knowledge of Linux
- Some cloud experience preferably with AWS
- A passion for education and learning
