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.
The Team:
You will be joining the ReleaseOps team - a multi-functional team that covers wide areas related to building, testing, and delivering our production code. As the team has members working with both the build system and the release process you will be in close collaboration to ensure the whole delivery chain works as expected.
The Code:
We currently use TeamCity as CI/CD solution. Build configurations and pipelines are created using TeamCity’s Kotlin DSL. The team is not only in charge of getting the build infrastructure in place but also administering the server entirely. This means working with AWS to ensure cloud formation stacks behind TeamCity are up and running, being confident using Ansible for provisioning build agents and using python and bash for various scripting tasks.
The Role:
We’re looking for an Engineer willing to share the ownership of our build service. Apart from the technical aspects, the role is defined by having a service-oriented mindset. The build service team supports hundreds of engineers and helps out with resolving all sorts of issues they may have with the system. The role is also defined by having a proactive mindset to ensure problems are caught before they grow. This is needed as our growing engineering organisation relies heavily on the CI/CD system, and it needs to work at all times.
You will:
- Co-own the build service infrastructure together with the build service team
- Perform TeamCity upgrades and general maintenance tasks like backups and monitoring
- Create or update build configs and pipelines using TeamCity’s Kotlin DSL
- Help shape architectural decisions related to build tooling, and drive the design of new build features
- Take a service-minded approach, supporting other engineers in whatever issues they might have with the TeamCity CI server
- Build and maintain AWS infrastructure
What You'll Bring:
- 5+ years of experience in CI/CD administration, preferably with TeamCity (but other solutions may suffice)
- 5+ years of experience in using scripting languages like Bash and Python
- Experience working with and hosting AWS infrastructure
- Experience working with Kotlin or a similar scripting for working with build and pipeline configurations
- Experience with Infrastructure as code
- Experience with Linux and Windows management for server and agent management
- Experience using Docker for containerisation
- A collaborative approach to working and communicating with different engineering teams
- A proactive mindset with strong problem-solving abilities
Nice to have:
- Previous experience in Software Development
- Java and corresponding build system experience, as the product code base is built around this
We encourage you to apply even if you don’t have experience across all of these areas, since the team will have a mix of different skills.
