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

We are looking for more members to join our team which mainly develops the distributed aspects of the neo4j database. Building on our fast and open source native graph database, our team takes the database a step further providing enterprise features such as high availability, scalability and deployment flexibility to customers with high demands in production.

Listen to Hugo, a member of the team about what it's like to work on this team!

The Role:

  • We are looking for more members to join our team which mainly develops the distributed aspects of the Neo4j database. Building on our fast and open source native graph database, our team provides enterprise features such as high availability, distributed consistency, scalability and deployment flexibility.

  • We’re particularly excited to hear from people who have deployed, managed or administered non-trivial distributed systems before; who have experienced some of their pain points and design trade-offs first hand and would like to transition to building, rather than managing them. Your contributions will be deployed in production environments around the world, vital to the varied and demanding use cases of our customers.

What The Work Is Like:

  • The day-to-day work is quite wide-reaching in the database stack, from low-level (filesystems and sockets) to high (user-facing tools and apis). We have a development process focused on taking time to achieve quality and correctness. However, there is plenty of room for pragmatism and fast paced problem solving.

  • Apart from coding features, we also track down both easy and tough bugs, fix downstream test failures, document features, participate in cross-team design meetings, build testing frameworks, and study the latest in database research.

  • You will also spend time learning, thinking and experimenting. Specialising in topics that interest you and helping to grow yourself, the team and the product.

What You Will Bring:

• Ability to work independently within a flexible software development organisation • Ability to communicate about, and collaborate on, complex topics. • Experience of distributed systems through usage, administration or development. • Desire to learn modern and high performance Java programming (or prior knowledge). • Desire to work as part of a geographically distributed team. • Nice To Have: • Existing knowledge of Java programming, the Java ecosystem or JVM internals. • Experience working with distributed orchestration systems, such as Kubernetes. • Experience of distributed systems through usage, administration or development. • Experience with working on large code bases. • An interest in recent distributed systems developments (academic or industrial).
