MongoDB Specialist

Project Description

We are constructing a resilient, secure, production-grade platform featuring Python backend services, REST APIs, asynchronous processing components, and external integrations, powered by MongoDB. The system will be delivered via a React/TypeScript operational user interface with auditable operations and role-based enterprise user journeys.
Role Overview:
As a Senior Hands-on MongoDB Specialist based in Chennai (Chennai, Tamil Nadu), you will engineer and support a resilient, secure, performant MongoDB capability for the platform. Responsibilities span database architecture design, operational data modelling, high availability strategies, performance optimization, security hardening, recovery procedures, and deep integration with Python-based services.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end MongoDB solution design, configuration validation, and production-readiness decisions for the BCM platform.
  
• Define robust document models, implement schema validation/versioning strategies, and optimize data access patterns for high-volume transactional workloads.
  
• Engineer replica-set/cluster resilience architectures including automated failover mechanisms, backup/restore protocols, and recovery controls to ensure business continuity.
  
• Optimize indexes and query performance using evidence-based diagnostics (EXPLAIN plans) to resolve bottlenecks in the Chennai office environment.
  
• Implement RBAC policies, least privilege principles, encryption at rest/in-transit, and auditable access controls compliant with industry standards.
  
• Support monitoring dashboards, alerting systems, capacity planning for future growth, managed upgrades, and incident resolution workflows.
  
• Partner cross-functionally with Python engineering teams, platform architects, security officers, and QA testers to assure end-to-end operability.
