·        Proven experience with MongoDB performance tuning, including query optimization, index strategies, memory management, and disk I/O optimization.

·        Strong understanding of backup and disaster recovery strategies, using both native MongoDB tools and third-party solutions (e.g., Ops Manager, Percona Backup for MongoDB).

·        Proficiency in automation scripting using Bash, Python, or PowerShell, as well as experience with configuration management tools like Ansible or Puppet.

·        Familiarity with MongoDB monitoring tools such as MongoDB Ops Manager, Prometheus, Grafana, or other database monitoring solutions.

·        Knowledge of MongoDB security mechanisms, including role-based access control (RBAC), auditing, encryption (SSL/TLS), and network security.

·        Strong knowledge of Linux operating systems, including system administration tasks (e.g., storage management, networking) to support MongoDB environments.

·        Hands-on experience managing MongoDB in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), including using managed MongoDB services (MongoDB Atlas, DocumentDB).

·        Experience working with containerized MongoDB instances (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

Preferred Skills:
