Company mission
To help the world make sense of big data by enabling businesses and organizations to harness the power of connections and relationships in data.
Role
Who you are
- Applying SRE practices in the wild: defining SLIs for key software, reducing toil through automation, monitoring applications for success
- The ability to debug large and complex cloud-based systems
- Extensive experience in monitoring systems and their performance
- Experience deploying and working with observability systems such as: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Google Logging (Stackdriver)
- Extensive experience with deploying and managing applications running on Kubernetes (experience with administering Kubernetes clusters is a plus)
- Knowledge of Go, Kustomize, and Terraform (some knowledge of Python is also a plus)
- Production experience with proxy software (e.g, Envoy, NGINX, HAProxy) and networking in general
- Experience with building CI/CD pipelines - we use GitHub Actions and TeamCity
- Familiarity working with a variety of Cloud Native projects
- Experience being on call is a plus
What the job involves
- 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 Site Reliability Engineering team’s mission is to improve the overall reliability of Neo4j’s DBaaS product: Neo4j Aura
- Our product operates at scale and spans all 3 major cloud providers, with hundreds of Kubernetes clusters running in production
- Until recently, the SRE function at Neo4j Aura achieved this by filling the shoes of a more traditional Ops team
- We are in the process of transforming the team and need your help to implement what we believe to be a more authentic form of SRE, by:
- Educating software engineers and product managers on SRE principles such as SLIs and SLOs
- Reducing the barrier to effective Ops for the engineering department by building abstractions and automating away toily tasks
- Applying software engineering to solve operational problems - we believe in writing operators rather than bash scripts
- Encouraging engineering teams to take ownership of running their code in production

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.
