DevEx Engineer for Aura Platform

Neo4j; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 80,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

Neo4j is seeking a Software Engineer for the Aura DevEx team in London. You will help make Aura approachable for Neo4j engineers and external users, building tools, docs, and workflows that streamline development on the Aura cloud platform.

The role emphasizes collaboration, strong Golang and Kubernetes skills, and an eagerness to improve onboarding, with responsibilities spanning coding, tooling, and AI-related workflows. Hybrid work is supported.

Qualifications

• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
• Experience using Golang for multiple software projects ranging from scripting to larger microservice-type applications.
• Some knowledge around the Golang build and packaging system.
• Solid software engineering experience, including shipping tools other engineers use (CLIs, libraries, internal platforms, or developer-facing services).
• Enough Kubernetes and container literacy to help someone develop in Aura — Pods, Deployments, Docker images, and how software gets onto a cluster.

Responsibilities

• Help teams outside Aura develop in Aura.
• Improve the workflows, docs, and tooling that engineers need.
• Support incubation and onboarding: help teams become productive in Aura without Aura DevEx owning their product.
• Work with Software Delivery when the right fix is on the paved road, and take the work that is about who is developing and how they get started.
• Give feedback to the various platform teams to ensure that the underlying platform is intuitive, pleasant to use, and extensible.
• Contribute to the AI domain for Aura development by maintaining skill files and agent instructions.
• Put evaluation and feedback around AI workflows — quality, cost, failure modes, and whether they actually save engineers time.
