Role
Who you are
- You have 3+ years of experience developing production-level software
- You have experience designing multi-threaded systems and algorithms
- You have hands-on experience with backend programming languages, such as Kotlin, Java, or Go
- You ideally have professional experience developing software systems, either in cloud or on-premises, involving either of the following
- Distributed event streaming platforms, such as Apache Kafka or similar products,
- Data processing and analytics platforms, such as Apache Spark, Apache Beam, or their derivatives,
- Data warehouses in the cloud, such as AWS Redshift, GCP BigQuery, and Azure Synapse etc
Desirable
- Experience with graph databases such as Neo4j or other SQL/NoSQL databases
- Experience in frontend development, ideally with React and TypeScript
What the job involves
- In the Connectors team, we have six engineers. Our work enables Neo4j to connect with the data ecosystem, facilitating the movement of data from other systems into a graph for analysis and returning the results to various business systems
- We build on a vast variety of technological stacks, from building products on top of Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, and Apache Beam to integrating Neo4j into Google Dataflow Templates and Microsoft Fabric
- We also build backend components for our Data Importer product, including deployment of those into our Kubernetes-based infrastructure. At times, we also need to build frontends for our customers to interact with what we build
- We are constantly building new or improving existing connectors for Neo4j, making our database accessible from a wider range of environments, including widely used big data and data warehouse products in the cloud and on-premise, while also helping improve the core database’s data ingestion capabilities with new features
- Be part of designing and architecting connectors for the Neo4j database
- Build and maintain new and existing connectors for various technologies
- Design new streaming/data ingestion APIs to make Neo4j faster and easier to use for our customers
- When necessary, work across teams to enhance our core database features
- Occasionally, build front-ends for connectors or integrations that require user interaction

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.
