Senior Information Security Analyst

The worldwide data management software market is massive (IDC forecasts it to be $137.6 billion by 2026!). At MongoDB we are transforming industries and empowering developers to build amazing apps that people use every day. We are the leading modern data platform and the first database provider to IPO in over 20 years. Join our team and be at the forefront of innovation and creativity.

The mission of MongoDB’s Information Security team is to reduce security risks, protect our user community and maintain trust in our products.

The MongoDB Information Security team has an exciting opportunity for an experienced multi-disciplined information security professional. We are looking  for someone with a strong record of building cross functional relationships to help us strengthen relationships with external and internal stakeholders across the APAC region. 

This role will have both an external and internal focus. Externally, this role will serve as a trusted security expert to our customer-facing teams by helping them remove barriers preventing  customers from adopting our products, particularly those moving workloads to the MongoDB Cloud. Internally, this role will be responsible for strengthening relationships between the Information Security team and business leaders in the APAC region, and leveraging these relationships to assist with security concerns in the APAC region. 

The ideal candidate is a fast learner with a broad understanding of information security controls and the ability to confidently communicate to a wide variety of audiences. The ability to identify and triage security risks and incidents in a globally distributed environment are also important to success in this role. Lastly, since MongoDB’s products are technical in nature and intended to be used by software engineers, an understanding of how product security features map to security controls is vital to success. 

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