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 Role:

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 

We are looking for people with some of the following skills:

  • 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
