Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 29 green-card filings in this occupation, 97% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card intent detected

MONGODB, INC. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Software Developers in San Francisco, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-29. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 21 days (2026-09-26), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Green-card follow-through: 59%

Of 17 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 7 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 495 days.97% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

Files H-1B transfers

16 transfer filings in the last year, covering 16 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role

  • What Makes This Role Unique: This is about architecting the future of search infrastructure.
  • You'll be working with engineers who live and breathe distributed systems, helping them channel that brilliance toward platforms that don't just work today, but anticipate the architectural needs of tomorrow's AI-native applications.
  • This role can be based out of our San Francisco office or remotely in USA region.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of PM experience with a specific focus on infrastructure or distributed systems.
  • You possess a mastery of concepts like CAP theorem, consistency models, and sharding strategies, backed by real-world empathy for the engineering experience-whether that's being on-call or debugging production incidents
  • A proven track record of driving operational excellence combined with exceptional narrative skills.
  • Deep Technical Authority: 5+ years of PM experience with a specific focus on infrastructure or distributed systems.

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with search technologies (Elasticsearch, Solr, Lucene) or vector databases, particularly in production environments at scale
  • The "Conviction Paper": Synthesize customer discovery into a strategic whitepaper defining the architectural investments needed for the next 18 months
  • Success Measures
  • Technical Immersion: Complete a full architectural audit of the search stack.
  • Be able to debate replication flows and consistency guarantees with Staff Engineers
  • The Quick Win: Identify and ship one low-hanging reliability improvement (e.g., a missing metric or doc gap) to demonstrate immediate value to the engineering team
  • Tier-1 Launch: successfully guide a major infrastructure capability (e.g., new vector index or sharding mechanic) from concept to General Availability
  • MongoDB's unified database platform-the most widely available, globally distributed database on the market-helps organizations modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI.
