The Role

In the graph data science (GDS) team at Neo4j, we’re building a comprehensive and high-performance platform for graph algorithms and machine learning methods to help the world make sense of data. One of our key offerings is delivered as a SaaS product called Aura Graph Analytics. We build, monitor, and maintain this distributed compute architecture with multiple on-demand runtimes, deployed in the largest clouds via Neo4j Aura.

Our users want to analyze data relationships and structures to develop answers, insights and predictions about their data. You will work on products that will go directly into the hands of our customers who are using Neo4j products to identify financial crimes, perform real-time recommendations, and power knowledge graph applications.

• Master’s degree in Computer Science or another related field, or 3+ years of professional experience as a software engineer.

Nice to have

• Experience with GPU programming (e.g. PyTorch), ML infrastructure, and MLOps tooling.
• Experience with database technology (SQL, NoSQL).
• Familiarity with graph theory.
• Experience working in a distributed / remote-friendly team.
• Experience with using and developing for Snowflake/Databricks.
