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?

The Role:

• We are looking for more members to join our team which mainly develops the distributed aspects of the neo4j database. Building on our fast and open source native graph database, our team takes the database a step further providing enterprise features such as high availability, scalability and deployment flexibility to customers with high demands in production.

  
  

  What You'll Do:

  • The day-to-day work is quite wide-reaching in the database stack, from deep into the kernel to high up designing user-facing surfaces, and the future growth and specialisation potential is high. We have a development process focused on quality and correctness, but there is plenty of room for pragmatism and different ways of approaching and solving problems.
  • Apart from coding features, we also track down both easy and tough bugs, fix downstream test failures, document features, participate in cross-team design meetings, build testing frameworks, and study the latest in database research.

  What You'll Bring:

  • Ability to work self-driving in an open and flexible software development organisation
  • Ease of communication and collaboration
  • Good knowledge of Java, the Java ecosystem and programming practices, or an ability to ramp up quickly in these areas through related knowledge and personal motivation
  • Good at object-oriented design
  • Good at concurrent programming
  • Experience working as part of a distributed team

  Nice to Have:

  • Prior technical knowledge of database systems through usage
  • Prior technical knowledge of database systems through development
  • Experience with working on large code bases
  • Experience with systemising features
