Neo4j

What is Neo4j?

Neo4j is the company behind the leading graph database, a way of modeling and querying data as connected nodes and relationships instead of rows and tables in a traditional database. That approach is a natural fit for problems where the connections between things matter most: fraud and financial-crime detection, recommendation engines, supply-chain and network analysis, knowledge graphs, and, increasingly, retrieval-augmented generation for AI and LLM applications (often called GraphRAG). Neo4j offers both a self-managed graph database and AuraDB, its fully managed cloud service, along with graph analytics and graph data-science tooling used by data scientists and engineers. Neo4j was founded in 2007 by Emil Eifrem, who is CEO, and Peter Neubauer, with roots in both Malmo, Sweden, and Silicon Valley; it has been headquartered in San Mateo, California, since 2011. The company employs roughly 982 people and has raised more than $535 million in total funding, including a $325 million round that was, at the time, among the largest fundraises in database-industry history, reaching a valuation around $2 billion. In 2025 its revenue was reported around $200 million in annual recurring revenue, and Eifrem has said the company is actively preparing for a US initial public offering.

Mission & values

Help the world make sense of data by giving developers and enterprises the leading graph database for connected data and AI-ready knowledge graphs.

Qualifications

Neo4j hires deeply technical roles for a database and cloud company. On the engineering side: core database engineers (query engine, storage, distributed systems), cloud engineers building and operating AuraDB, graph data science and machine-learning engineers, security engineering, and site reliability. It also hires product management and design, developer relations and technical writing (its users are often developers and data scientists), and customer-facing technical roles like solutions engineering, professional services, and technical support. On the go-to-market side: enterprise sales, sales engineering, customer success, and partnerships, plus marketing, finance, legal, and people. Application flow lives at neo4j.com/careers. Neo4j hires globally with hubs in the US and Sweden; some roles are remote or hybrid and others are tied to an office, and work authorization requirements depend on the country. Deep database internals, distributed-systems, or graph/data-science experience is a strong signal for technical roles. Check each posting for location and remote eligibility.
