Lovisa Berggren, a software engineering intern from Umea University, is thriving in her role at MongoDB's Dublin office, gaining valuable real-world experience with the Cloud API Experience Team, particularly in projects involving API authentication and rate limiting. She appreciates the supportive and inclusive culture at MongoDB, which makes her feel integrated as a genuine team member rather than just an intern. Lovisa's decision to join MongoDB was influenced by her positive interview experience and familiarity with the company's technology, and she finds the work environment and her colleagues to be a highlight of her internship. Concurrently, MongoDB is expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in South Korea, where it anticipates significant growth. The company's focus on open-source solutions and modern technologies like NoSQL is helping it address new application requirements and modernize existing workloads. MongoDB Korea's team emphasizes collaboration and knowledge sharing, which supports its rapid growth and customer engagement in the region. Additionally, MongoDB's CEO, Dev Ittycheria, announced his retirement effective November 2025, appointing Chirantan “CJ” Desai as the new CEO to guide the company through its next phase, MongoDB 3.0, leveraging his extensive experience in scaling companies like ServiceNow and Cloudflare. Dev plans to remain involved with MongoDB as a board member, expressing confidence in the company's future under CJ's leadership.
