About the Job
You will play a critical, hands-on role in guiding enterprise customers through the foundational stages of their deployment journey. As a player-coach and technical anchor for a focused four-person onboarding team , you will split your time between directly delivering complex customer onboardings and serving as the day-to-day technical escalation point and mentor for three fellow engineers.
Sitting at the intersection of technical architecture and customer delivery, you will bridge the gap between a signed contract and a production-ready ecosystem. You will serve as a trusted technical advisor, steering customers through critical infrastructure milestones—including cloud provisioning, security hardening, networking, data modelling, and application integration.
For fully managed AuraDB cloud customers, you will leverage automation to optimise data modelling, enterprise connectivity, and application health. For self-managed environments, you will apply rigorous Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) and platform engineering practices to deploy secure, resilient graph clusters across hybrid and multi-cloud architectures.
Responsibilities
Hands-on Technical Onboarding (~70–80%)
Lead technical discovery sessions with enterprise customers to define success criteria, milestones, architecture patterns, and risk mitigation strategies.
Guide the provisioning of Neo4j AuraDB environments and self-managed clusters across AWS, Azure, and GCP, establishing secure network architectures using PrivateLink, Private Endpoints, and peering.
Implement baseline system hardening, TLS/SSL termination, encryption-at-rest protocols, and enforce least-privileged access through enterprise SSO (OIDC/SAML) and RBAC configurations.
Architect robust data ingestion pipelines (bulk imports, stream processing, Change Data Capture) and advise customer development teams on Neo4j driver optimisation, connection pooling, and retry logic.
Assist customers in configuring enterprise observability tools (logs and metrics) and deliver best-practice guidance on Cypher query performance and backup/restore planning.
Produce high-quality technical deliverables—including architecture diagrams, Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), and runbooks—to ensure smooth operational handoffs.
Technical Mentorship & Team Escalation (~20–30%)
Serve as the senior technical point of escalation for the onboarding team, unblocking colleagues on complex customer architectures and troubleshooting edge-case issues.
Pair with and mentor team members through design reviews, architecture discussions, and customer engagements to continuously elevate collective technical execution.
Help balance day-to-day account coverage across the team to maintain consistent onboarding velocity and delivery quality.
