The Team:
Our mission in Neo4j Research is to discover and disseminate future technology options so that our product engineering teams can continue to lead the market. We are computer scientists who enjoy building, tearing-down, and re-imagining the technologies that underpin Neo4j’s graph technology. We are ambitious empiricists who relish the challenge of building systems which haven’t been tried before, and we like to have a little fun along the way.
The Role:
We are expanding our UK-based team with talented post-doctoral researchers to investigate the next-generation of graph database systems as part of the Aurendil project. The goal of the Aurendil project is to construct a radical new query language runtime for graph databases inspired by advances in programming language technologies. As such, we are building a cross-disciplinary team of post-doctoral researchers to design and implement the Aurendil prototype from the ground up.
Post-doctoral researchers joining the team will lead the end-to-end development of a completely new database system architecture – from theoretical underpinnings, through to implementation and evaluation – and the dissemination of results to Neo4j product teams and the academic research community.
We are especially interested to hear from candidates with backgrounds in systems research – such as query languages, databases, compilers, parallel computing, distributed systems, or and hardware acceleration.
The ideal candidates will have experience in one of these fields:
- Query Language(s) and their implementation
- Programming Language(s) and their implementation
- Compiler construction and code generation – LLVM, x86, or ARM
- Managed Runtimes and Virtual Machines – JVM or GraalVM
- Database internals
- Parallel Computing
- Distributed Computing
- Hardware Acceleration – GPGPUs, FPGAs, or Smart NICs
As this is a Research role, the ideal candidate will have experience working in an academic or industrial research environment and bring a robust understanding of research practice. A strong background in designing and developing complex systems using languages like C++, Java, or Rust would be beneficial.
The role is based in London, UK and supports both hybrid and in-office working. Neo4j can provide visa support for exceptional international applications.
