To help the world make sense of data.
Role
Who you are
- A Master of Science in Computer Science or similar experience
- Knowledge in Java or Scala (or a similar language)
- Experience of Databases
- Experience of secure development practices, and writing security sensitive code
- Familiarity with Agile development processes
- Strong analytical skills and a drive to solve complex, non-trivial problems requiring deep algorithmic thinking and first-principles reasoning
Desirable
- Neo4j experience
- An interest in language design
- Experience with algorithm design and analysis
- Understanding of hardware architecture
- Experience in compiler engineering
- Experience in language design
- Understanding of JVM internals
- Scala, or another functional language
- Experience with authentication/authorization systems including role based access control and OpenID Connect
- Experience with performance-driven development, e.g. profiling, benchmarking and optimizing code
- Interest in exploratory learning and transferring academic research into production grade products
What the job involves
- Join our Cypher teams as a software engineer to develop and extend the Neo4j query language
- Cypher is similar to SQL, but designed by us specifically for graph databases and for finding patterns in a graph
- Working in the Cypher teams is technically very rewarding, working on solving complex problems on many different levels
- We are recruiting for all levels of the Cypher stack, from parsing and semantic analysis to query planning, optimization and execution; as well as identity & access management and handling of procedure framework and database schema & administration
- The development is done in Scala and Java, and there will be possibilities to work in areas ranging from language design to advanced algorithms, concurrent programming, and mastering the JVM internals
- You will be working in an international environment with colleagues mainly in Sweden and the UK, but also elsewhere in Europe
- The teams (5-7 engineers) are self-organised and set up their own ways of working, within the guidelines of the overall ways of working in Engineering
- As an engineer, you have a lot of freedom in how you carry out the tasks ahead of you

Our take
Innovation in database models has developed gradually over the past decade, from scale-out SQL, to key-value stores. Every now and again, something comes along to change the game, and such is the case with Neo4j.
Offered as either a self-hosted database or cloud service, Neo4j is a graph database development platform that focuses on the connections between individual data entities. This offers insights into how systems, people, locations, and seemingly unrelated data points are related so that users can address complex data questions, such as business recommendations, AI, fraud detection, and more. The company is seen as a leader in graph technology with unlimited scaling, which was demonstrated when, in 2021, it produced a record-breaking graph database with over a trillion relationships.
Graph-based data models are now crucial components for AI and machine learning applications, and Neo4j has achieved an impressive number of funding rounds and amassed hundreds of enterprise customers using its product. These include Airbnb, eBay, Lyft, and NASA, the latter of which used graph database technology from Neo4j during the development of the Orion spacecraft.
