Ok guys I found a possible solution to this problem. I realized that joins do not exists in Mongo, that's why first you need to query the user's ids with the role you like, and after that do another query to the profiles document, something like this:

    const exclude: string = '-_id -created_at -gallery -wallet -MaxRequestersPerBooking -active -__v';

  // Get the _ids of users with the role equal to role.
    await User.find({role: role}, {_id: 1, role: 1, name: 1},  function(err, docs) {

        // Map the docs into an array of just the _ids
        var ids = docs.map(function(doc) { return doc._id; });

        // Get the profiles whose users are in that set.
        Profile.find({user: {$in: ids}}, function(err, profiles) {
            // docs contains your answer
            res.json({
                code: 200,
                profiles: profiles,
                page: page
            })
        })
        .select(exclude)
        .populate({
            path: 'user',
            select: '-password -verified -_id -__v'
            // group: { role: "$role"} 
          })
    });
