Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior MongoDB DBA / Data Architect to support a strategic database modernization initiative involving the migration from Azure Cosmos DB (API for MongoDB) to MongoDB Atlas. The ideal candidate should possess strong database architecture expertise, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to assess existing application and database environments while driving migration activities with minimal business disruption. This role requires a proactive individual who can quickly learn new technologies, take ownership of deliverables, and provide technical leadership throughout the migration lifecycle. Successful migration from Azure Cosmos DB (API for MongoDB) to MongoDB Atlas, you will need a Senior-level DBA or Data Architect with 5 to 9+ years of experience. Migrating out of Cosmos DBs emulation layer requires deep expertise because of fundamental behavioral differences. While both use MongoDB syntax, Cosmos DB enforces strict request unit (RU) rate-limiting, has a different aggregation engine pipeline behavior, and handles indexing differently compared to native MongoDB Atlas. A junior or mid-level DBA might struggle with data type mismatches, indexing re-architecting, and avoiding downtime during the cutover.
