Technical Curriculum Developer, Gen AI

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.

We are seeking a talented and experienced Curriculum Developer to join our team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for creating comprehensive training materials, designing engaging exercises and hands-on activities, and developing content that supports our customers in modernizing their applications.

When applying, please let us know in a few words why you'd be a good fit. Polymath developer? Technology geek? Hacker who loves to speak and write? If any of these descriptions fit, then we'd love to hear from you! Familiarity with AI technologies, LLMs, and RAG is essential.

This is a remote role with the option to work from one of our office locations if local.

• Build “train-the-trainer” materials to enable MongoDB’s training instructors around the world to deliver our training courses effectively
• Learn about new product features and teaching methods, collaborating with the MongoDB product engineering and field engineering teams to create engaging, accurate, in-depth educational material
• Develop sample applications using a variety of programming languages
• Continually look for ways to extend and improve our courses to support new products and features, and to enhance the learning experience for students and their instructors
