• You will share your expertise internally with other Neo4j teams and also with customers through workshops, training sessions, and documentation to empower them to effectively utilize, maintain, and reproduce the AI solutions you deliver.
• Maintain continuous learning and stay up-to-date with the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape, proactively seeking knowledge of new trends and technologies.

Required Qualifications:

• Enterprise Application Architecture: 7+ years of experience architecting and delivering enterprise-grade applications, with a deep understanding of the full software development lifecycle and the ability to guide teams through complex design and implementation decisions.
• LLM Proficiency: 2+ years of Experience working with Large Language Models (LLMs), including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and integrating LLMs into applications. Maintain up-to-date knowledge of different LLM providers and their strengths and limitations, as well as open-source ones).
• Programming Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in at least one major programming language (e.g., Java, JavaScript, Python, or C#), with a proven track record of delivering clean, maintainable, and scalable code within complex systems.
• Deployment and Version Control: Deep hands-on experience with deployment tooling across Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes environments, along with expert-level use of version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) in enterprise development workflows.
• Cloud Computing Expertise: Demonstrated expertise in deploying and scaling applications across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), with a strategic understanding of cloud-native architecture and DevOps best practices.
• Generative AI Ecosystem Knowledge: In-depth knowledge of the generative AI ecosystem, including frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack) and familiarity with cloud-native AI platforms (e.g., AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML), enabling you to architect end-to-end AI solutions.
• Data & Analytics Fluency: Strong background in data engineering, analytics, or data science, with the ability to design data pipelines and workflows across structured and unstructured data. Hands-on experience with big data technologies (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Hive) and database systems (SQL and NoSQL)
• Graph Database Authority: Deep expertise in graph data modeling and query languages (e.g., Cypher), along with practical experience working with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, TigerGraph) or triple stores (e.g., Ontotext, Stardog), enabling advanced knowledge graph applications
• Communication and Collaboration Skills: Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with a demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams and align technical decisions with business goals.
• Problem-Solving and Analytical Abilities: Strong analytical mindset with the ability to break down complex problems, architect AI solutions, and mentor teams through implementation
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 50% to engage with customers, lead strategic discussions and ensure successful project execution.
