## Description

## The Role

We are seeking a Senior Consulting Engineer to join our Application Modernization Platform (AMP) organization. As a Senior Consulting Engineer, you will plan and lead the technical delivery of data migration engagements end-to-end, design and operate change data capture (CDC) pipelines, and work closely with enterprise customers.

## Responsibilities

### Delivery

- Plan and lead the technical delivery of data migration engagements end-to-end: source estate assessment, migration strategy and wave planning, schema and data-model transformation, pipeline build, validation, and production cutover with minimal downtime

- Design and operate change data capture (CDC) pipelines for zero and near-zero-downtime migrations using Kafka and the connector ecosystem, Debezium and comparable log-based CDC tooling, and cloud-native replication services

- Bring genuine platform depth on the estates our customers are leaving: Cassandra data modeling and anti-patterns, Cosmos DB (Core and Mongo API) partitioning and RU economics, DocumentDB's compatibility surface

- Work shoulder to shoulder with enterprise customers - architects, DBAs, platform teams and executives - from whiteboard to war room

- Own the full consulting lifecycle for your engagements, from planning and agenda-setting through post-engagement follow-up

### Pre-sales and Growth

- Partner with Solutions Architects, Engagement Managers and account teams to scope and size migration opportunities

- Cultivate your reputation as a migrations SME and trusted advisor, internally and in the market

- Identify services opportunities in our customers, new workloads or estates to be migrated or product improvements the customer could benefit from

### Building the Practice

- Build and harden the AI tooling that makes migrations faster and safer

- Turn field experience into reusable assets: migration playbooks, reference architectures, estimation models, tooling improvements and enablement for the wider team

- Partner with Product and Engineering to bring field reality into MongoDB's product and migration-tooling roadmap

## Requirements

- Professional fluency in German is required

- Excellent analytical, diagnostic and problem-solving skills

- Degree in Computer Science or a similar technical field

- 5+ years in software engineering, data engineering, or consulting delivery roles centred on data platforms and data movement at production scale

- Hands-on experience with at least one of: Apache Cassandra, Azure Cosmos DB, Amazon DocumentDB, or another distributed NoSQL platform

- Real-world CDC and streaming-pipeline experience: Kafka or Confluent Platform, connectors, Debezium or equivalent

- Solid grounding in relational databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL or MySQL)

- Competence in at least one programming language (Java, Python, Node.js, C#, Go or similar)

- Excellent customer interaction and presentation skills

- An entrepreneurial bias

## Nice to Have

- Experience building with LLMs beyond personal productivity

- Migration or replication tooling experience: Spark or Flink-based pipelines, dual-write patterns, cloud DMS-class services, data-validation frameworks

- One or more cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) at architecture depth

- Experience on the vendor or consulting side of competitive platform displacements

- Practical experience with MongoDB

- Fluency in a second European language relevant to this market

## Practicalities

- Travel up to approximately 30% in normal circumstances, primarily within EMEA
