Role
Who you are
- We're looking for 5+ years of practical experience in:
- Front-end development with React, at a level where you can drive technical decisions, front-end architecture, and mentor others
- Building complex, data-rich web applications
- Working beyond the front end: you're curious and willing to pick up new languages, backend systems, and cloud technologies
- You will ideally have experience and/or an interest in some of:
- Backend development in Java, Scala, or Go (JVM experience is a plus but not required)
- Cloud-native development and container orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes)
- Cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery
- Distributed databases or database internals
- Database drivers and connectivity, e.g. JDBC or HTTP-based drivers
- Software architecture and keeping systems maintainable as they scale
- Research shows that members of underrepresented communities are less likely to apply for jobs when they don’t meet all the qualifications. If this is part of the reason you hesitate to apply, we’d encourage you to reconsider and give us the opportunity to review your application
What the job involves
- Here at Neo4j, we're looking for a software engineer with deep front-end expertise to join our Graph Engine team, the team behind Virtual Graph. React will be your core strength, but this is a genuinely full-stack role: you'll also work across backend systems, cloud, and connectivity, using technologies including Java, Scala, SQL, Cypher/GQL, Go, and TypeScript (with JDBC on the JVM side and React for the UI/client side)
- The team builds Virtual Graph, a new Neo4j product that lets customers query data in platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, and BigQuery as a graph, without moving it. We translate Cypher into SQL, run it on the customer's platform, and return the results as a graph. The product is in public preview and heading toward general availability, so there's still plenty to build
- The team owns Virtual Graph end to end, from the query engine and database connectivity to the cloud infrastructure and the UI in the Aura console. You'll play a key role in guiding the UI's technical direction and collaborating with team members. Beyond the front end, you'll contribute across the rest of the stack and learn from a team of experienced engineers. We avoid silos, and everyone works across the product

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.
