Senior Software Engineer, Neo4j

• Proven experience in backend systems (8+ years) with exposure to large-scale, complex applications and cross-functional teams
• Fluency in Java, with a deep understanding of modern software engineering principles, including:
• Clean Architecture, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Test-Driven Development (TDD)
• Advanced debugging and profiling techniques,
• Writing composable, maintainable, and testable code
• Spring or similar frameworks with emphasis on building secure, modular, and scalable APIs
• Experience designing data models, both relational (e.g., PostgreSQL) and ideally graph-based (Neo4j or similar)
• Working knowledge of modern CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and automated deployment workflows
• Strong security mindset, with practical knowledge of secure software design and common vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP)
• Comfortable with remote team collaboration, i.e. tools and practices for asynchronous communication
• 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. At Neo4j, we are committed to building awareness and helping to improve these issues
