- Auditing and access controls
- Automate MongoDB operations using Ansible, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines
- Support MongoDB deployments on AWS / Azure / GCP
- Work closely with application and DevOps teams on schema design and performance optimisation

- Jenkins / GitLab CI
- Kubernetes (MongoDB on K8s)
- Exposure to banking, fintech, or regulated environments
Education & Certifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent – Preferred
