· Lead MongoDB installation, configuration, patching, version upgrades, migrations, and lifecycle management activities.
· Design and operate MongoDB replica sets and sharded clusters, including appropriate topology, storage, networking, and capacity configurations.
· Define and maintain MongoDB engineering standards, reference architectures, build procedures, operational controls, and best practices.
· Participate in architecture reviews and advise application teams on data modeling, indexing, scalability, resilience, connectivity, and operational readiness.
High Availability and Disaster Recovery
· Design and support highly available MongoDB solutions using replica sets, elections, read preferences, write concerns, and multi-site or multi-region architectures.
· Implement and maintain disaster-recovery strategies for both on-premises MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas deployments.
· Plan and execute failover, recovery, regional resiliency, and disaster-recovery tests.
· Work with stakeholders to define, validate, and maintain recovery time and recovery point objectives.
Backup and Recovery
· Design, implement, and operate enterprise MongoDB backup and recovery solutions for on-premises and MongoDB Atlas environments.
· Administer snapshot, continuous backup, point-in-time recovery, retention, restore, and recovery-validation processes using MongoDB-native and enterprise tooling.
· Conduct regular restore testing and support disaster-recovery exercises to verify recoverability.
Performance and Reliability
· Monitor database availability, capacity, health, replication, storage, and performance across on-premises and MongoDB Atlas environments.
· Analyze and optimize queries, indexes, aggregation pipelines, schema and data models, connection behavior, and database configurations.
· Troubleshoot complex production incidents, lead root-cause analysis, and implement preventive actions.
· Drive database reliability, observability, capacity planning, and operational excellence initiatives.
Security and Compliance
· Implement MongoDB security controls, access-management standards, and least-privilege practices.
· Manage roles and privileges, authentication, authorization, encryption in transit and at rest, auditing, key management, and credential-management integrations.
