MongoDB’s Developer Experience organization is responsible for ensuring developers across every major language ecosystem can use MongoDB seamlessly, intuitively, and idiomatically. We build and maintain the rich set of client libraries and integrations that serve as the primary interfaces to the database, spanning more than ten programming languages and frameworks.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager for Python Developer Experience who will champion MongoDB’s relationship with the Python community, ensuring Python developers and data scientists have the best possible experience using MongoDB. You’ll define the strategy and roadmap for our Python driver, integrations (such as with Django, Flask and FastAPI), and tooling, informed by the needs of the ecosystem. You’ll collaborate closely with a world-class, globally distributed engineering team, but your focus is outward: understanding and serving Python developers where they are.
You’re a strong fit if you have hands-on experience building with Python and can translate developer pain points into clear, actionable product direction. You thrive at the intersection of code and product, care deeply about developer experience, and have a passion for learning, experimentation, and community engagement.
You will own the strategic vision, product strategy, and roadmap for how MongoDB serves Python developers—defining how our portfolio of client libraries, framework integrations, and ecosystem partnerships should evolve to meet both current developer expectations and future trends in the Python ecosystem. Your work will shape how developers build with MongoDB, ensuring a seamless, idiomatic experience that balances short-term developer needs with long-term platform differentiation and secures MongoDB’s place at the center of modern Python stacks such as the FARM stack.
You will collaborate closely with engineering, documentation, DevRel, and community teams to deliver a cohesive developer experience, and act as a champion for the Python ecosystem within MongoDB. You’ll stay ahead of trends, identify strategic opportunities, and make evidence-based decisions that drive adoption and delight.
As part of onboarding, you will build and document an application using MongoDB and a Python framework of your choice to gain firsthand insight into the developer experience. You’ll also engage directly with community forums, conferences, and open-source contributors to deepen your understanding, validate direction, and build trust with developers.
This role can be based out of our Dublin office or remotely in Ireland.
