Staff Technical Program Manager, Compliance and FedRAMP

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 Staff Technical Program Manager at MongoDB, you will drive the successful delivery of high-impact, cross-functional programs that are critical to our security, compliance, and identity & access management (IAM) strategy. You will own the end-to-end program lifecycle—from planning and technical scoping to execution and delivery—ensuring we meet stringent regulatory requirements like FedRAMP while enabling secure, scalable product experiences for our customers.

You will partner with Engineering, Product Management, Security, GRC, and field-facing teams to define program goals, align on priorities, and execute against our broader product vision. You’ll uncover solutions to complex technical and compliance challenges, facilitate design trade-off discussions, and provide the data-driven insights that influence strategic decision-making at the highest levels.

This role will be based remotely in the United States.

What you’ll do

• Lead critical security and compliance programs, including FedRAMP authorization and renewals, IAM platform enhancements, and related initiatives—to elevate our posture from moderate to high-level compliance across MongoDB’s products and infrastructure
• Leverage deep technical acumen and analytical skills to break down abstract compliance and security requirements into actionable engineering deliverables
• Partner closely with Security, GRC, and Engineering stakeholders to proactively identify and mitigate risks related to compliance, security posture, and program delivery
• Drive programs that intersect infrastructure, application security, identity management, and access control, ensuring robust and compliant architectures
• Develop and scale program management frameworks that balance agility with operational rigor, providing the right level of process to ensure predictable outcomes
• Act as a key liaison in technical design discussions, summarizing trade-offs, risks, and recommended paths forward for executives and technical leaders
• Build strong, trust-based relationships across Product, Design, GTM, and Security teams to accelerate decision-making and execution
• Mentor junior TPMs and lead by example in setting a high bar for operational excellence, stakeholder communication, and delivery predictability
• Apply deep knowledge of compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR) to advise on program scope, dependencies, and roadmap impacts

What we’re looking for

• 10+ years in an engineering organization leading large-scale, cross-functional technical programs, including 5+ years of direct experience with security, compliance, and privacy-focused initiatives
• Proven track record delivering programs aligned to FedRAMP or other regulated industry standards, including working with auditors, control owners, and engineering leads to achieve and maintain certification
• Practical experience in Identity and Access Management, authentication/authorization protocols (e.g., SAML, OIDC, OAuth), role-based access control, and related security architectures
• Ability to participate in and influence technical discussions, with a background in software development, infrastructure, or systems engineering
• Skilled at identifying compliance, security, and delivery risks early, and partnering with teams to create actionable mitigation plans
• Adept at orchestrating multiple concurrent work streams with complex interdependencies
• Exceptional written and verbal skills to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Balances regulatory requirements with user and business needs to deliver secure, compliant, and customer-centric solutions

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing a portfolio of compliance programs beyond FedRAMP (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR)
• Familiarity with MongoDB or similar database technologies
• Hands-on experience with program management tools like Jira, Aha, or Rally
