From the original posting

MongoDB is seeking an exceptional Product Manager to own disaster recovery and business continuity for the world's leading developer data platform.

In this role, you will own the product vision, requirements, and execution plan for Standby Clusters, MongoDB's disaster recovery offering for both Atlas and Enterprise Advanced. Standby Clusters continuously replicates a production cluster to an isolated standby in a separate region, datacenter, or cloud provider, delivering sub-minute recovery time and near-zero data loss. You will work closely with engineering, customers in regulated industries, and the field to take the product from preview to GA and beyond, and to shape MongoDB's broader strategy for replication, recovery, and resilience.

We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Dublin for our hybrid working model.

Responsibilities:

Develop and execute the product strategy and roadmap for Standby Clusters across Atlas and Enterprise Advanced, from public preview through GA and the post-GA feature set (planned failover and reverse sync, cross-cloud and multi-region topologies, scaling while linked, backup integration)
Own the recovery objectives and the tradeoffs behind them: define and defend RTO and RPO targets, replication lag semantics, consistency guarantees across sharded clusters, and the behavior of failover, switchover, and failback
Drive the product's position within MongoDB's resilience portfolio: when a customer should choose Standby Clusters versus multi-region clusters, backups and point-in-time restore, or Atlas Stream Processing, and how these offerings fit together
Partner with customers in financial services, healthcare, and other regulated industries to translate compliance requirements (such as DORA and isolated-recovery-environment mandates) into product requirements, and run DR gamedays and design-partner programs with them
Define the operator experience across the Atlas UI, Atlas Administration API, Ops Manager, CLI, and Terraform, including monitoring, alerting on replication lag and standby health, and the "break glass" path when the active region is unreachable
Shape pricing and packaging for standby capacity and the associated storage and data transfer
Collaborate with engineering on architecture decisions that affect customer-visible behavior, including replication through object storage, cluster-wide consistent timestamps, and dependencies on the Atlas control plane
Gather and analyze usage data, failover outcomes, and customer feedback to drive improvements, and own the success metrics for adoption, standby creation time, and time-to-recovery
Work with marketing, sales, and customer success on go-to-market, enablement, and launch readiness
Stay current on disaster recovery, replication, and high-availability approaches across the database industry and cloud providers

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of experience in product management or a deeply technical customer-facing role, focused on database systems, distributed systems, or infrastructure
Deep understanding of durability, availability, and performance tradeoffs in distributed systems. Hands-on experience with replication, consensus, failover, backup and restore, or disaster recovery is strongly preferred
Working knowledge of how production databases are operated: replica sets and sharding, consistency models, recovery objectives, maintenance and upgrade workflows, and the operational realities of regulated environments
Experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or comparable database systems, and with at least one major cloud provider
Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive complex technical programs with multiple engineering teams and external design partners
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to explain recovery semantics to both platform engineers and compliance officers
Strong technical acumen. Our Product Managers must be as technical as their engineering counterparts and have real depth of knowledge
