Intelligence that works. Results that matter. Built to work everywhere and integrate with everything across every cloud for dynamic, personalized, and autonomous AI systems. We deliver quicker results, contextual knowledge, and solutions that impact customers and employees across the business. **Our Vision:** At Neo4j, we have always strived to help the world make sense of data. As business, society and knowledge become increasingly connected, our technology promotes innovation by helping organizations to find and understand data relationships. We created, drive and lead the graph database category, and we’re disrupting how organizations leverage their data to innovate and stay competitive. ## **The Team:** Neo4j’s managed cloud offering, Aura, brings the power of graph databases to the cloud. We’re expanding our Software Delivery team and looking for an ambitious Engineer to join us. Our team combines experience in pure software development and platform engineering so the combination of experience is vital for candidates interested in joining this team. ## **The Role:** *"Increase engineering efficiency by building an internal developer platform"* The Software Delivery team drives innovation by enhancing the Developer Experience within Aura. While we collaborate across all Engineering teams at Neo4j, our primary focus is on empowering Aura teams to achieve more with greater efficiency through the practice of Platform Engineering. We aim to build intuitive self-service tools that eliminate bottlenecks, enabling engineers to focus on what they do best—delivering impactful solutions. By reducing cognitive overhead and streamlining workflows, we accelerate application delivery and amplify the business value our teams create. This is often referred to as the golden path or the paved road. ## **Primary responsibilities:** - Improve the speed and quality of our build system by improving our CI runners and build machinery. - Work with ArgoCD and build the future of how we deliver software to production. - Work on and improve the Kubernetes as a Control-Plane, to enable engineers to control all of their resources through Kubernetes management lifecycles. - Build and improve tooling to enable engineers, for example: - Scaffolding, make it easier to create components - Provide testing frameworks to make it easier to test components - Provide a better Continuous Delivery platform with Argo Rollouts to enable testing in production - Foster a culture of modern software development practices including practices such as - Continuous delivery - Releasing under feature flags - Testing in production ## **What you’ll Need:** - Strong Kubernetes experience - Knowledge and understanding of the basic builtin resources in Kubernetes such as Pods, Deployments, StatefulSets. - Knowledge around the operator pattern in Kubernetes and how to extend the K8s api through Custom Resources. - Strong Golang experience - Experience using Golang for multiple software projects ranging from scripting to larger microservice-type applications. - Some knowledge around the Golang build and packaging system. - Knowledge around modern continuous integration practices - Experience configuring CI/CD pipelines taking software from a merged PR to running in a production environment (most often K8s cluster). - Experience building and running docker images. - An interest in understanding the pain points of other developers and ability to come up with solutions addressing those pain points. ## **What’s nice if you have:** - Experience with the concept of “platform as a product” where the internal developer platform is treated as any other product but of course built for internal engineers. This involves things like - Working closely with internal engineers to identify pain points - Making sure the product experience is as good as possible - Setting up observability around how the platform is performing but also how users are interacting with the platform - Experience creating abstractions to simplify the local developer workflow via tooling like Make. Experience with k8s-related build tooling like kustomize or helm is also meriting. - Experience integrating software with Google Cloud Platform, AWS and Azure - Some experience in common software observability practices such as tracing, logging and metrics exporting. #LI-Hybrid **Why Join Neo4j?** Neo4j is, without question, the most popular graph intelligence platform in the world.
