Job description

Do you like to solve advanced and complex computer science problems? Do you like to be part of a team that values user success and where you can have intellectually honest discussions?

Here at Neo4j, we’re on the lookout for an experienced software engineer to join our Driver Engineering Team. As a driver engineer, you’ll primarily be responsible for the Node.js library, which acts as an adapter between the binary protocol transmitted over the network and the language API consumed by client applications. You will also be involved with development work on other language drivers, the Neo4j server networking component, our build and test infrastructure, and technical documentation. As well as software development, you’ll also have the opportunity to support community projects, run meetups and hackathons, write blog posts, and help with training and other events.

Hear from Nigel Small about what this role is all about! 

You will be part of the international team that is based in our engineering HQ in Malmö, Sweden.

We're looking for 3+ years' practical experience in:

• Javascript (well versed in ES6+)
• NodeJS platform and ecosystem
• Writing scalable, extensible NodeJS applications and libraries
• Working with high-volume throughput over HTTP(S) and WebSockets

 You will ideally have experience and interest in:

• Typescript and functional reactive programming
• Network communication and protocols, and how to reduce latency and overhead
• Database management systems, Database design, and server-side consumption of data.
• Distributed system design
• API design (both HTTP and programmatically), and how APIs scale over time
• Working with typed languages and debugging compile-time errors

You may have also worked with some or all of:

• Modern Dependency Injection frameworks such as Angular or NestJS
• Javascript optimisation and underlying implementation (how the V8 engine works)
• Working in distributed/clustered environments (Docker, kubernetes, etc.)
• Other backend languages and layers, or generally find system design interesting

We don’t expect you to have experience across all these areas. We have a mix of different skills in our Malmo based team.

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 between people, processes, locations and systems. We created, drive and are at the forefront of innovation in the Graph Database category; and we’re disrupting how organizations leverage their data to innovate and stay competitive.

We are here to stay: Neo4j is well-funded with a recent series E round of $80M, led by Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, and One Peak Partners. Creandum, the earliest investor in Spotify, is a long-term Neo4j investor. We have over 300 customers including Airbus, Comcast, eBay, NASA, UBS, and Walmart; more than 75% of the Fortune 100 have used Neo4j.
