Tech Lead, Backend - GraphAware Hume

Responsibilities

• Driving platform architecture, setting technical direction for the transversal foundations that feature teams across Hume build on, and shaping cross-cutting design decisions with the wider engineering group
• Owning our Neo4j strategy: actively tracking and hands-on testing of new releases and ecosystem tooling (GDS, APOC, etc.) to assess breaking changes, propose new product opportunities, and plan deliberate, scalable migrations.
• Optimizing Cypher queries and graph access patterns for latency, throughput, and scale
• Mentoring engineers and raising the team's technical bar (especially in Neo4j), without formal management authority
• Partner closely with Product Managers: to translate long-term product goals into scalable technical roadmaps
• Designing secure, scalable access control systems for mission-critical environments
• Building APIs for intuitive user interaction with complex data
• Orchestrating workflows to automate graph analytics, inference, and real-time insights
• What you must know already and be excited to grow further
• Deep, hands-on Neo4j expertise, including advanced Cypher query performance optimization, profiling, and deep familiarity with the broader Neo4j ecosystem (e.g., GDS, APOC, drivers).
