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.
The Role -
As part of Neo4j’s Sales Engineering team, you will collaborate directly with customers across a wide range of industries and technology stacks. You will provide technical guidance, architectural leadership, and hands-on solution design for Neo4j-based initiatives.
This role involves close collaboration with account executives and technical stakeholders to translate business needs into powerful graph solutions. From leading discovery conversations to presenting tailored prototypes and whiteboarding architectures, you’ll support the full pre-sales lifecycle.
You will engage closely with large and strategic accounts, focusing on both new business and the expansion of existing relationships. While your primary focus will be on enterprise customers, you’ll also interact with a diverse range of organizations—from high-growth scale-ups to established global leaders.
This is a remote position, and we encourage applicants based in Germany or the broader DACH region, as proximity to our customers and alignment with Central European time zones supports close collaboration. Success in this role depends on a strong understanding of complex solution architectures and the ability to position graph technology within broader enterprise platforms.

Lead and contribute to all stages of pre-sales engagements, from discovery to technical validation
Design and present solution architectures that align with customer objectives and technical environments
Collaborate with account teams to position Neo4j’s capabilities within broader enterprise platforms and initiatives
Deliver demos, proof-of-concepts, and technical workshops tailored to specific use cases
Act as a trusted advisor to both business and technical stakeholders throughout the sales process
Support proposal development, including RFPs, RFIs, and complex evaluations
What You’ll Bring -
5+ years in PreSales, Solution Engineering, or Professional Services roles, preferably in complex enterprise environments
Strong customer-facing skills with the ability to uncover pain points and translate them into value-driven solutions
Experience with database technologies and data modeling, ideally including NoSQL or graph-based approaches
Familiarity with enterprise data architectures and integrating graph technology into complex, multi-system environments
Hands-on development experience with one or more languages (e.g., Java, Python, JavaScript)
Proven ability to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes and contribute to the growth of strategic accounts
Fluent communication skills in German and English (spoken and written)
Self-directed, proactive, and comfortable working in a remote, cross-functional organization
Willingness to travel across the DACH region and occasionally within Europe
Bonus Expertise
Experience with Neo4j or other graph databases (property or RDF-based)
Exposure to Graph Data Science, GraphRAG, LLMs, or AI/ML integrations
Knowledge of data integration methods including ETL, virtualization, or data federation
Experience with BI and data visualization tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Grafana, or Neo4j Bloom
