Software Engineer - IAM, Aura

About Neo4j:

It includes enterprise-ready knowledge graphs for accurate, explainable, and governed AI; the most comprehensive, trusted, and easy-to-deploy graph capabilities across any environment and data source; and an unmatched ecosystem trusted by 84 of the Fortune 100 and supported by the world’s largest graph community. Intelligence that works. Results that matter.

Built to work everywhere and integrate with everything across every cloud for dynamic, personalized, and autonomous AI systems. We deliver quicker results, contextual knowledge, and solutions that impact customers and employees across the business.

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 IAM team is responsible for owning authentication and authorisation throughout Aura, right from the time you click sign up in the Console, all the way to the access controls on the cloud-hosted databases. Additionally, we often help unblock other teams by guiding them and building tools and solutions for their IAM-related challenges.

We're evolving our existing IAM implementation into a dedicated architecture while continuing to support our current platform and deliver new features. This allows us to solve interesting engineering challenges around architecture, security, and scalability, with opportunities to contribute ideas and take ownership.

The Role:

We are looking for software engineers who are comfortable working on both frontend and backend features, solving problems and delivering features end to end. You'll have opportunities to take ownership of meaningful technical challenges, collaborate with other engineers and help shape how IAM capabilities are designed and delivered across Neo4j Aura.

Previous IAM experience is highly desirable but not essential . If concepts such as JWT, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, RBAC, ABAC, SSO, and zero-trust authentication are familiar to you, that's a plus. If not, curiosity and a willingness to learn are what matter most.

What You'll Do:

• Improve Neo4j Aura’s identity and access management platform.
• Build new features, both user facing and engineering driven.
• Write Python, Go and Typescript code with a strong focus on usability, scalability and efficiency.
• Work in a highly collaborative team of skilled engineers.
• Partner with members of other teams in Neo4j.

What You'll Bring:

• Experience with either Go or Python with a willingness to work in any of our other programming languages.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals, including writing maintainable, well-tested code and taking features from planning through to delivery.
• Some familiarity with authentication and authorization concepts, whether through professional experience or personal projects. Deeper IAM expertise is welcome but not required.
• Experience or strengths in at least one area relevant to the role, such as IAM, cloud platforms, distributed systems, evolving legacy systems or breaking down monolithic architectures.
• A collaborative approach to engineering, including communicating ideas, asking questions, sharing knowledge and working with other teams to solve problems.
• Initiative and curiosity, with the ability to identify opportunities for improvement, contribute ideas and take ownership of delivering solutions.

Technologies We Use:

• Frontend: React and Typescript
• Backend: Python (legacy services) and Go (new services)
• IdP: Auth0
• Infrastructure: Kubernetes and Docker
• GCP, Azure and AWS

Production experience with several of the technologies we use is desirable but not essential.
