Job summary

Able is seeking a senior graph engineer who loves building data-centric software using Neo4j and Cypher. You will own graph ETL pipelines, ingest high-volume data streams with Kafka, and implement CDC to keep the knowledge graph up to date.

The role emphasizes automated data hygiene and temporal modeling within a scalable graph architecture. You’ll collaborate across teams, implement entity resolution and deduplication, and optimize performance as the graph grows.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on Neo4j experience with Cypher and schema design.
• Strong background in building data pipelines for graph ingestion.
• Experience with high-volume data ingestion and real-time sync patterns.
• Ability to implement automated data quality checks and entity resolution.
• Proficient in Python for ingestion scripts and maintenance jobs.

Responsibilities

• Architect Graph ETL: design and develop robust ETL pipelines for graph ingestion.
• Data Ingestion at scale: manage high-volume streams using Kafka and implement CDC patterns.
• Automated Graph Hygiene: write scripts for deduplication, orphan node detection, and schema checks.
• Modeling Time: handle complex temporal relationships within the graph.
• Performance Tuning: optimize indexes and storage as the graph grows beyond 25k reports.

Job description

Back in 2012, we were a group of engineers and designers who decided we wanted to build things—so we did. Able started as an engineering and product hub building for a portfolio of early-stage startups. We built many relationships while developing products that were thoughtful, effective, and genuinely useful. But, since then, we’ve grown… and so has our ambition.

Now, we’re entering our next chapter—defined by applied AI. AI is a powerful force in the end-to-end software development cycle, and we’re creating practices that allow us to deliver software fast and more effectively than traditional approaches, creating meaningful value for our partners. Today, our builder mindset is driving us to become an AI-native organization across every function. We’re still evolving, and that’s part of the opportunity. If you want to build, learn, and tackle challenges alongside an ambitious team, let’s build together.

This position is 100% remote within LatAm.

What you’ll be doing

We are seeking someone who views the Knowledge Graph not just as a database, but as a living organism that requires constant care, feeding, and pruning. You understand that a RAG system is only as good as the data underlying it. You are intrigued by the complexity of ingesting massive, messy datasets and transforming them into clean, connected knowledge.

In short, someone who likes:

• Architecting Graph ETL: Designing and developing robust ETL pipelines specifically for graph ingestion. You aren’t just dumping rows into tables; you are determining how disparate data sources connect, evolve, and relate in a graph structure.
• Data Ingestion at Scale: Managing high-volume data streams using tools like Kafka and implementing CDC (Change Data Capture) patterns to ensure the graph reflects real-time reality.
• Automated Graph Hygiene: Writing scripts and jobs for deduplication , orphan node detection , and data consistency checks. You take pride in a clean schema.
• Modeling Time: Handling complex temporal relationships (e.g., how property ownership or financial status changes over time) within the graph.
• Performance Tuning: Ensuring that as the graph grows (25k+ reports and beyond), the underlying query performance remains snappy through optimizing indexes and storage.

What we’re looking for

We want to work with people who have a passion for collaborating with their teams, building software while nurturing inclusive and respectful relationships with their coworkers. With the ones that are open about their shortcomings and what they do not know now, but remain eager to keep on growing and closing those gaps.

Ideally, they would also have:

• Neo4j Expertise (Must Have): 4+ years of hands‑on experience. You master Cypher , schema design, and the operational side of managing a production graph.
• ETL & Pipeline Mastery: Strong background in building data pipelines. You know how to take raw data, clean it, and structure it for graph ingestion.
• Streaming & CDC: Familiarity with event streaming platforms like Kafka and Change Data Capture methodologies to sync operational databases with the graph.
• Python Proficiency: Strong Python skills for writing ingestion scripts, maintenance jobs, and custom graph algorithms.
• Data Integrity Focus: Experience implementing automated jobs for entity resolution , deduplication, and quality assurance.

Nice-to-Have:

• C# Knowledge: Ability to read or contribute to C# codebases.
• Domain Experience: Prior work in Finance or Real Estate sectors.

Able is powered by curious, thoughtful people who care about what they build and how they build it. We’re actively investing in our team through AI training, knowledge‑sharing, and hands‑on experimentation to ensure everyone grows alongside the technology.

This position is 100% remote within LatAm. Strong verbal and written communication skills in English are a requirement. As a team member, you can expect:

• To work 40 hours per week, and be available during normal business hours as needed
• Payments made in USD
• 18 days of PTO per year, observance of local holidays, and an annual break between Christmas and New Years
• A monthly wellness stipend and snack boxes delivered to your home

About Able

Able builds technology products in a portfolio model. We believe that people, teams, and processes are more important than the ideas themselves, so we’ve focused on bringing great people together, and investing in their growth.

We’ve built products in a variety of industries. Everything from media to finance to toys to healthcare. Sometimes we work with management teams to help their businesses grow faster or unlock value using technology. Other times we start or buy businesses outright. Each time, we look for opportunities to leverage technology built at the portfolio-level to drive value faster.

Able is committed to inclusion and diversity and is an equal‑opportunity employer. All applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

This is but the beginning of a conversation we’d love to have with you.
