Job Description:

From our technology to our team members, Neo4j is built on relationships.

As part of Neo4j product engineering, you will work together with a diverse team of talented colleagues from around the world. Our culture encourages engineers who want to become deep experts in a particular field – or to build broad expertise across several technologies. Our engineers regularly work with peers in field engineering and experience the full lifecycle of the systems they build.

We build technology that helps cure cancers, addresses diabetes, and gets humans to Mars. We're proud to fight fraud, crush pandemics, and even help journalists uncover the truth. Neo4j’s engineering teams are located in Malmö, Sweden and London, UK.

Please submit your CV and cover letter in English.

The Role

Here at Neo4j, we are the developers of the world’s leading graph database. We are looking for a software engineer to join our Neo4j Cypher Team. Cypher is Neo4j’s graph query language and is a foundational piece of how developers interact with Neo4j. You will be part of a brilliant, energetic, and fun team of engineers that build and continuously evolve and improve the graph database!

The Neo4j Cypher team develops and maintains a deep stack of code, from the high level declarative queries users write, through the query planner that converts these into highly optimised executable plans, to the runtimes that efficiently execute these plans on the kernel and underlying stores and indexes of the property graph model.

As a Neo4j Cypher software engineer you will not only work with improving and optimising the planner and runtimes, but you will develop wide-stack features that improve the capabilities of the Cypher language and the Neo4j database, and touch all parts of the code: from the parser down to the store files and indexes.

In the Neo4j Cypher team we work with the JVM, and programming languages such as Scala and Java.

Nice to have:

• Experience programming in Scala and/or Java • Understanding or previous experience with database design and implementation • Interest or experience in developing compilers • A strong foundation in algorithm design and analysis • Interest in exploratory learning and transferring academic research into production grade products
