Solution Engineer Paris

Neo4j is the world's leading graph database and our Solution Engineering team are the people that help customers realize its value every day. Neo4j has proven to be the go-to data management solution in use cases such as Fraud Detection, Knowledge Graphs, Recommendation and personalisation, Risk management, Security, IT Management and Network Operations and many more.

In the Neo4j Solution Engineering team, we are technologists who enjoy working directly with customers in a variety of industries, and with a wide range of technologies and architectures. We provide engineering and architecture leadership and development for the Neo4j-based solutions our customers are building.

The responsibilities of a Solution Engineer cover a variety of tasks starting from understanding the prospective customers needs and environment, transforming the needs into an architecture including our leading-edge graph database technology and guiding all involved parties through the sales process. Demonstrating Neo4j as a technology for specific domains, whiteboarding solution architectures, and engaging at the level of technical decision makers are examples of the day-by-day work. The Solution Engineer understands business terminology, thinks in technical terms and combines both sides during the entire engagement.
