MongoDB Specialist

Project Overview

We are building a resilient, secure, production-grade platform of Python backend services, REST APIs, asynchronous processing components, and external integrations. The solution is backed by MongoDB and delivered through a React/TypeScript operational user interface with auditable operations and role-based enterprise user journeys.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design, configuration, and production-readiness decisions for our MongoDB solutions.
• Define robust document models, schema validation/versioning strategies, and efficient data access patterns.
• Engineer high-availability replica-set/clusters configurations with defined failover, backup/restore procedures, and recovery controls.
• Optimize database indexes, query performance, and capacity planning using evidence-based diagnostics like explain plans.
• Implement strict security measures including RBAC, least privilege principles, encryption at rest/in-transit, and auditable access controls.
• Support comprehensive monitoring, alerting systems, upgrade cycles, and incident resolution protocols.
• Partner closely with Python development, platform engineering, security, and QA teams to assure end-to-end operability.

Mandatory Skills & Experience

8+ years of experience required. Must have strong production expertise in:

• Hands-on MongoDB administration/engineering (configuration, upgrades, troubleshooting).
• Replica sets/clusters management, failover handling, recovery design, and resilience testing.
• Advanced index design, explain plan analysis, query/capacity tuning, and slow-query diagnosis.
• Python integration using PyMongo/Motor or similar drivers.
• Responsible use of AI coding/testing assistants (prompting, reviewing, validating output).
• The ability to independently challenge design choices, make production-ready decisions, and resolve complex database issues.
