Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Neo4j as an employer.

What you need

  • 5+ years of practical experience in a modern general-purpose or systems programming language (e.g., Java, Go, Rust, C, C++)
  • Deep understanding of network concepts and binary protocols
  • Experience with HTTP and web service development

Nice to have

  • Interest in network development (binary protocol specs like Bolt, Frontend/Backend, MongoDB Wire Protocol)
  • Experience with network packet analysis (e.g., Wireshark)
  • Familiarity with distributed system design
  • API design experience
  • Knowledge of asynchronous network frameworks (e.g., Netty or similar)

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed
  • Role involves both software development and community engagement, which may appeal to those interested in outreach and education
  • Focus on network server modules and binary protocols may not align with all software engineering interests
