• We’re particularly excited to hear from people who have developed and maintained non-trivial distributed systems before; who have experienced some of their pain points and design trade-offs first hand
• Ability to work independently within a flexible software development organization
• Ability to communicate about, and collaborate on, complex topics
• Experience of distributed systems through usage, administration or development
• Desire to learn modern and high performance Java programming (or prior knowledge)
• Desire to work as part of a geographically distributed team

Desirable

• We are looking for experienced backend engineers 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 delivers critical enterprise features such as high availability, distributed consistency, horizontal scalability and deployment flexibility
• Your contributions will be deployed in production environments around the world, vital to the varied and demanding use cases of our customers
• The day-to-day work is quite wide-reaching in the database stack, from low-level (efficient IO systems where every flush and allocation counts) to high (distributed control planes where predictability and stability are vital)
• We have a development culture focused on taking the time needed to achieve quality and correctness. However, there is plenty of room for pragmatism and fast paced problem solving
• Apart from coding features, you’ll also work with support engineers to track down tough bugs, SREs to support our database as a service offering, and with product managers and other teams to design new features
• You’ll also spend time learning, thinking and experimenting. Specializing in topics that interest you and helping to grow yourself, the team and the product
