Mongodb Database Architect

Key Responsibilities

• Database Design & Architecture: Design and implement robust MongoDB database structures including effective data models schema design indexing strategies and sharding configurations for optimal performance and scalability to millions of transactions.
• Performance Optimization: Analyze and tune database performance by optimizing queries indexes and aggregation pipelines. Implement caching mechanisms and efficient data retrieval strategies to achieve low-latency high-throughput operations.
• Scalability & High Availability: Architect solutions for high availability and horizontal scaling (e.g. using replica sets and sharding). Ensure continuous operation and capacity to handle growing data volumes and real-time load without service interruption.
• Security & Compliance: Implement robust security measures for MongoDB including authentication authorization encryption and data governance. Ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations (e.g. PCI DSS GDPR) to protect sensitive financial data.
• Backup & Disaster Recovery: Develop and maintain comprehensive backup strategies and disaster recovery plans. Regularly test backups and recovery procedures to safeguard data integrity and guarantee business continuity.
• Collaboration & Guidance: Work closely with development teams (Java/Spring Boot backend Kafka for messaging Redis for caching) to understand application requirements. Provide guidance on MongoDB data modeling and schema design and ensure seamless integration of the database with application and infrastructure components.
• Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Implement monitoring and alerting solutions to continuously track database health and performance. Proactively identify bottlenecks or issues and troubleshoot them to maintain optimal system operation and minimize downtime.
• Automation & Tooling: Automate routine database tasks (deployments scaling backups indexing etc.) using scripting and appropriate DevOps tools. Streamline operational processes to reduce manual effort and error.
• Research & Innovation: Stay up-to-date with the latest MongoDB features best practices and ecosystem tools. Evaluate new technologies or approaches (e.g. improved scaling techniques new storage engines cloud services) and recommend enhancements to improve our data architecture.

Qualifications :

• Required Skills and Qualifications

• Deep Expertise in MongoDB: Strong proficiency in MongoDB architecture administration and performance tuning (query optimization indexing sharding replication etc.).
• NoSQL & Distributed Databases: Experience with other NoSQL databases and a solid understanding of distributed database concepts (consistency partitioning replication strategies).
• Cloud Experience: Familiarity with deploying and managing MongoDB in cloud environments including MongoDB Atlas or self-managed instances on AWS/GCP/Azure.
• Programming & Scripting: Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g. Python Bash) and experience with programming languages commonly used with MongoDB (especially Java/Spring Boot; knowledge of is a plus) for integrating the database with applications.
• Messaging/Caching Ecosystem: Experience integrating MongoDB within systems that use message brokers (e.g. Apache Kafka) and caching layers (e.g. Redis) to ensure data consistency and high performance across the stack.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and troubleshooting abilities to diagnose and resolve complex database issues under pressure.
• Communication Skills: Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders including developers DevOps engineers and product managers.

• Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Industry Experience: Experience in the fintech payment processing or cross-border payments domain understanding the unique challenges of high-volume transactional systems (not mandatory but a plus).
• Compliance Knowledge: Familiarity with financial data compliance and security standards (e.g. PCI DSS GDPR) and experience implementing solutions that meet these standards.
• Certifications: Relevant certifications such as MongoDB Certified DBA/Architect or related cloud/database certifications can be an advantage.
