About Neo4j

Neo4j is the leader in Graph Database & Analytics, helping organizations uncover hidden patterns and relationships across billions of data connections deeply, easily, and quickly. Customers use Neo4j to gain a deeper understanding of their business and reveal new ways of solving their most pressing problems. Over 84% of Fortune 100 companies use Neo4j, along with a vibrant community of 250,000+ developers, data scientists, and architects across the globe.

At Neo4j, we’re proud to build the technology that powers breakthrough solutions for our customers. These solutions have helped NASA get to Mars two years earlier, broke the Panama Papers for the ICIJ, and are helping Transport for London to cut congestion by 10% and save $750M a year. Some of our other notable customers include Intuit, Lockheed Martin, Novartis, UBS, and Walmart.

Neo4j experienced rapid growth this year as organizations looking to deploy generative AI (GenAI) recognized graph databases as essential for improving its accuracy, transparency, and explainability. Growth was further fueled by enterprise demand for Neo4j’s cloud offering and partnerships with leading cloud hyperscalers and ecosystem leaders. Learn more at neo4j.com and follow us on LinkedIn.

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. We created, drive and lead the graph database category, and we’re disrupting how organizations leverage their data to innovate and stay competitive.

The Team

The Developer Tools team builds and maintains our VSCode extension and the libraries required to provide intelligent autocompletion, syntax validation, formatting, and warnings. We're seeking an ambitious engineer to join our team to help us advance the future of graph database developer experiences.

Together we build developer tooling that can help our users be successful in their work with Neo4j. As a member of our small team, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the planning process and we expect you to translate these ideas into high-quality software.

For example, this year we’ve focused on things like version-specific linting that automatically adapts to different Neo4j server versions, code formatting, and enhancing our transpiled semantic analysis to provide symbol tables. Most of our work is open source and available on our [GitHub repository] (https://github.com/neo4j/cypher-language-support).

The Role

We expect you to be proficient in TypeScript and comfortable working across the full stack, from JVM transpilation and ASTs to React-based VSCode webviews and data presentation.
