Vice President, Enterprise Architecture

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.

The Vice President of Enterprise Architecture is a strategic thought leader and trusted partner to technology and business executives across MongoDB. This role is responsible for defining and driving the enterprise-wide architecture strategy, ensuring technology investments are aligned to business outcomes, enabling agility, and unlocking innovation through scalable, modern platforms. You will be accountable for establishing a future-ready architectural vision that supports MongoDB’s growth, accelerates the adoption of AI and automation, and simplifies the technology landscape across the enterprise. You will be accountable for the definition of an AI strategy for the enterprise keeping velocity in mind and aligning to the business objectives for AI in each function. 

You will lead a lean, small but high-impact global team of enterprise, domain, and solution architects responsible for defining blueprints, setting architectural guardrails, and partnering with product and engineering teams to deliver value at scale. You are passionate about cutting through complexity, are grounded in business outcomes, and are known for your ability to influence across organizational boundaries.

This role can be based out of our Palo Alto or New York City offices in the United States region.
