Job Description The Queryable Encryption program is delivering one of MongoDB’s most unique and exciting products;
Queryable Encryption is an industry-leading in-use encryption capability that allows customers to protect sensitive data while preserving the ability to query it, helping our most demanding and security-sensitive customers meet strict data privacy and security requirements.

As a Staff Technical Program Manager, Queryable Encryption, you will own the successful delivery of complex, cross-functional efforts for Queryable Encryption. You will be the primary owner of the Queryable Encryption program and will also contribute to up leveling other critical security-adjacent initiatives as needed.

You will partner closely with stakeholders across the organization from Engineering, Product, Cryptography, Analytics, and Field-facing teams to develop and execute against our overall product vision and business objectives, uncover solutions to technical challenges, and provide data-driven insights that power strategic decision-making.

The right candidate for this role will be:
* Experienced with 10+ years of working in an engineering organization leading complex cross-functional technical programs
* Technically fluent, with the ability to partner credibly with engineers and leaders on architecture, APIs, systems behavior, delivery risk, and implementation trade-offs
* Experienced in one or more relevant domains such as security, privacy, distributed systems, databases, infrastructure, or other technically demanding product areas

* Experienced in security-sensitive domains or products where privacy, compliance, trust, or resilience meaningfully shape product and engineering decisions
* Hands-on software development experience can help in this role, but we care most about demonstrated technical depth, program leadership, and the ability to operate effectively in a highly technical environment

Position Expectations
* Leverage technical acumen and analytical skills to drive engineering programs forward and maximize business value delivery
* Recognize patterns in a sea of information and take action accordingly
* Develop a strategic approach to program management that balances hands-on oversight with process-driven operationalization
* Build strategic partnerships with Product, Crypto, Engineering, Analytics, and Marketing stakeholders
* Expand knowledge into new domains as called upon
* Drive alignment across security, server, drivers, developer experience, and supporting teams, identifying dependencies early and resolving friction before it slows delivery
* Help teams navigate technical and organizational trade-offs across security, usability, compatibility, performance, and operability
