About The Position

Mongo is seeking a Head of AI Platform, GM to lead the development and scaling of a new AI Applications Platform. With millions of developers trusting MongoDB for their workloads, MongoDB is building the future to enable them to create, deploy and manage AI Applications at enterprise scale. As GM you will own the business, vision and execution of this Platform. This is a unique "intrapreneurial" role where you will act as the CEO of the product line. You will own the end-to-end success of the platform, with direct responsibility over the R&D organization (Engineering, Product, and Design). As the VP & GM, you will lead the transition from 0 to 1—defining the technical architecture, building a world-class team of engineers and product thinkers, and scaling the platform to support thousands of customers building production-grade AI applications. You are someone who can debate the nuances of multi-agent orchestration and Model Context Protocol (MCP) in the morning, and present a three-year commercial growth strategy to the board in the afternoon. This role can be based in our San Francisco and New York City offices or remotely in the United States. MongoDB is built for change, empowering our customers and our people to innovate at the speed of the market. We have redefined the database for the AI era, enabling innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries with software. MongoDB’s unified database platform, the most widely available, globally distributed database on the market, helps organizations modernize legacy workloads, embrace innovation, and unleash AI. Our cloud-native platform, MongoDB Atlas, is the only globally distributed, multi-cloud database and is available across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. With offices worldwide and over 60,000 customers, including 75% of the Fortune 100 and AI-native startups, relying on MongoDB for their most important applications, we’re powering the next era of software.

Requirements

Entrepreneurial Track Record: Experience as a founder, early-stage employee, or "0-to-1" leader within a larger tech company. You must have experience building and launching a software product from scratch.
Technical Depth in AI: Deep understanding of the AI landscape. You should be familiar with AI frameworks, foundation models, embeddings and vector databases.
Cloud & Platform Expertise: 10+ years of experience building scalable Cloud/SaaS products, enterprise infrastructure software or developer platforms (APIs, SDKs, or infrastructure tools).
Leader of Leaders: Proven experience managing managers and leading cross-functional organizations of 100+ people.
Product-Led Mindset: A "product-hacker" mentality. You prioritize shipping and learning over perfection, but understand the reliability requirements of enterprise-grade software.
Strategic Communication: Ability to distill complex technical concepts (e.g., multi-layered AI governance or inference optimization) into compelling narratives for customers and executives.
