We created, drive and lead the graph database category, and we're disrupting how organizations leverage their data to innovate and stay competitive. The Team: In the Connectors team, we have six engineers. Our work enables Neo4j to connect with the data ecosystem, facilitating the movement of data from other systems into a graph for analysis and returning the results to various business systems. We build on a vast variety of technological stacks, from building products on top of Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, and Apache Beam to integrating Neo4j into Google Dataflow Templates and Microsoft Fabric. We also build backend components for our Data Importer product, including deployment of those into our Kubernetes-based infrastructure. At times, we also need to build frontends for our customers to interact with what we build. The Role: We are constantly building new or improving existing connectors for Neo4j, making our database accessible from a wider range of environments, including widely used big data and data warehouse products in the cloud and on-premise, while also helping improve the core database's data ingestion capabilities with new features. As a software engineer in the Connectors team, you'll: * Be part of designing and architecting connectors for the Neo4j database * Build and maintain new and existing connectors for various technologies * Design new streaming/data ingestion APIs to make Neo4j faster and easier to use for our customers * When necessary, work across teams to enhance our core database features * Occasionally, build front-ends for connectors or integrations that require user interaction ## Related Videos - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Kotlin Multiplatform - True power of native code reuse](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/4-kotlin-multiplatform-true-power-of-native-code-reuse) - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [Maximising Cassandra's Potential: Tips on Schema, Queries, Parallel Access, and Reactive Programming](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1167-maximising-cassandra-s-potential-tips-on-schema-queries-parallel-access-and-reactive-programming) - [Graphs and RAGs Everywhere...
