Remote MongoDB Administrator Jobs
Shape the Future of Data from Anywhere
Imagine being at the helm of mission-critical data systems for teams spread across the globe—empowering innovation, security, and scale from your workspace. As a Remote MongoDB Administrator, you’ll redefine what’s possible for modern data-driven organizations. Your expertise ensures our databases are not just running but truly enabling engineers, product leaders, and support teams to build remarkable digital experiences. You’ll join a remote-first environment where autonomy, trust, and mastery are core. The annual compensation for this role is $115,330.
Your Impact
What if your daily work sets the tone for how teams launch new features, recover from hiccups, or scale to reach new markets? Here, you’ll orchestrate robust MongoDB deployments that keep services available for thousands of users—often before they realize an issue could arise. Your troubleshooting skill means our developers can deliver without hesitation. You’ll tune performance so data flows swiftly, helping products evolve and customers thrive. When systems require scaling or sharding, you’ll collaborate with infrastructure and security experts to ensure growth remains sustainable and secure. With each migration, backup, and failover you lead, you directly fuel our business agility and customer trust.
Core Responsibilities
- Architect, implement, and maintain high-availability MongoDB clusters that power real-time web and mobile platforms.
- Proactively monitor database health—spotting patterns, surfacing anomalies, and recommending creative solutions.
- Partner with engineering and support to troubleshoot live incidents, restore service, and perform root cause analysis.
- Guide application teams in schema design, indexing, aggregation optimization, and query efficiency.
- Champion robust security practices, overseeing role-based access, encryption-at-rest, and audit logging.
- Automate routine tasks using scripts or infrastructure-as-code tools to ensure consistency across deployments.
- Lead seamless data migrations, upgrades, and sharding strategies as we expand to new markets or products.
- Contribute to disaster recovery planning and test failovers to ensure our data is always protected.
- Offer mentoring moments, sharing MongoDB wisdom in onboarding sessions or tech talks.
Our Remote Work Environment
Here, you’ll have the flexibility to focus intensely—and the support to keep learning. Our collaboration stack brings together Slack, Jira, and Notion, connecting you with cross-continental teammates. You’ll share feedback, ideas, and wins in open forums, knowing every voice counts. We move quickly, but you’ll always have the space to make thoughtful decisions. You’ll gain exposure to distributed systems architecture, high-velocity agile workflows, and multi-cloud ecosystems (think AWS, GCP, and Azure). When challenges arise, you’re not alone—engineers, security leads, and operations specialists rally together.
Tools & Technologies
Every day, you’ll work hands-on with:
- MongoDB Atlas and self-hosted deployments (replica sets, sharding, change streams)
- Monitoring and alerting with Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog
- Scripting in Python, Bash, or Go to automate repetitive jobs
- Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Ansible
- CI/CD tools to integrate database changes safely
- Security tooling for access controls and auditing
- Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
What You Bring
- Deep, practical MongoDB experience—handling both greenfield and legacy systems
- A love for demystifying database concepts, whether in onboarding calls or async documentation
- Ability to simplify complex problems and communicate solutions—be it over Slack, Zoom, or code comments
- Tenacity in solving challenging issues, plus the curiosity to try new strategies
- Hands-on with modern DevOps and monitoring tools
- Comfort navigating the unique challenges of remote work—balancing independence with open communication.
- A passion for building secure, scalable, and resilient database environments
Growth, Ownership & Rewards
Here, your voice will drive real change. You’ll lead process improvements, pilot new monitoring tools, and see the impact of your ideas on product launches. You’ll have a dedicated budget for training, certifications, and technical conferences—because we know learning fuels excellence.
