Jobs at MongoDB

What MongoDB's application asks

Across the 2 application forms Otto has filled at MongoDB: 22 distinct questions, 12 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 14 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Greenhouse.

12 are MongoDB’s own, not boxes every form has:

• github
• if you answered mongodb employee, mongodb event, or other, please specify here:
• preferred name
• stackexchange
• are you a current mongodb employee?
• gender identity (
• have you ever worked at mongodb before?
• how did you learn about this job?

and 4 more.

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-09, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Greenhouse puts on every employer’s form.
