About MongoDB
What is MongoDB?
MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) is a developer data platform company, founded in 2007 as 10gen and renamed after its flagship database in 2013. It is headquartered in New York and is a member of the NASDAQ-100. President and Chief Executive Officer is Chirantan "CJ" Desai.
MongoDB serves "more than 67,000 customers across almost every industry—including approximately 75% of the Fortune 100," and says "175k+ builders" join every month across a partner network of "1,000+ technology and service partners." The product line centres on MongoDB Atlas — "the only globally distributed, multi-cloud data platform" available across AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure — alongside Enterprise Advanced for self-managed deployments, the open-source Community Edition, and Search, Vector Search and Stream Processing for AI and real-time workloads.
Where will I work?
MongoDB is headquartered in New York and runs "40+ offices around the world." Live roles are posted from New York, Palo Alto, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago and Boston in the US; Dublin, Cork, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Zurich and Warsaw in Europe; and Tel Aviv, Dubai, Gurugram, Bengaluru, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Sydney and Tokyo, plus Toronto, Montreal, Mexico City and São Paulo. Dublin has been the EMEA headquarters since 2013, and in April 2026 MongoDB announced a €74 million Irish expansion adding "approximately 200 new roles" and a new Cork office.
MongoDB publishes four named working models: In-Office ("a dedicated desk in a MongoDB office and typically work there three-to-five days per week"), Flexible ("typically work from a MongoDB office one-to-two days per week at a shared desk… The rest of the time they work remote"), fully remote, and a customer-facing remote model. Most job ads name a specific city for a hybrid model, so check the individual posting.
What is the MongoDB team like?
"5,000+ employees around the globe" across engineering, product, sales, customer success, marketing, support, finance and partnerships. MongoDB frames its benefits around "four well-being pillars: physical, emotional, financial, and family & community," and runs a formal wellness programme called MongoDB Bloom.
Work-Life Balance
MongoDB is not a reduced-hours employer, and publishes no four-day-week or compressed-hours policy. Its standout benefit is parental leave: "New parents receive up to 20 weeks of fully paid parental leave, as well as an additional four weeks of fully paid flexible work arrangements to assist with returning to work." The leave is gender-neutral, and in the EU it is "a minimum of 20 weeks fully-paid gender-neutral parental leave (inclusive of and running concurrently with statutory leave)." Eligibility "varies depending on location and tenure with the company," so confirm the detail for your country.
Time off is flexible rather than fixed: "Our flexible paid time off (PTO) ethos is applied globally to ensure employees take time to refresh, relax, and unwind."
