Our Vision
At Neo4j, we have always strived to help the world make sense of data.As business, society and knowledge become increasingly connected, our technology promotes innovation by helping organizations to find and understand data relationships. We created, drive and lead the graph database category, and we’re disrupting how organizations leverage their data to innovate and stay competitive.Neo4j Technical Onboarding Engineers play a critical role in supporting our customers, early in their Neo4j journey, to ensure the success of their project.As a Technical Onboarding Engineer, you will lead new customers from signed contracts to getting them started on planning all aspects to build a production-ready Neo4j environment. You’ll provide guidance on critical aspects of their project (cloud provisioning, security, networking, data import, app integration) along with enablement (workshops, docs, handover). You will shape onboarding plans aligned to our onboarding tiers, orchestrate delivery across workstreams, and ensure a predictable time‑to‑value - partnering closely with Professional Services and Cloud Operations teams.For AuraDB customers, you will leverage the service’s automation—provisioning, upgrades, and backups—while focusing on data modeling, connectivity, and application success. For self‑managed customers, you will apply infrastructure‑as‑code and platform engineering practices to deliver secure, resilient clusters.
