Please submit your CV and cover letter in English.The role of the Product Designer for the Core Database is based on the knowledge and design of User Interfaces and User Experience (UI/UX), but in a more abstract and NON-graphical approach.
As part of the product team, you will design the surface of the Neo4j database in terms of:
The definition and description of internal procedures and functions
The definition and description of the public API for embedded applications and plugins
The definition and description of the client/server API for the supported connectors and languages (HTTP, Java, JavaScript, Python, .NET and GO)
The Cypher syntax and commands for data definition and data manipulation (DDL/DML), together with the Cypher Language team and external bodies.
The Cypher syntax and commands for the administration of the Neo4j DBMS.What you will do:- Design the surface of the core database, based on strategy and company vision, customer requests, developers and devops experience.
- Develop high-level definition of journeys for different personas: DBAs, power users, data scientists, developers for client/server and for embedded applications.
- Manage an iterative design lifecycle, from the collection of requirements, theoretical design, POC, EAP and final release.
- Interact with Product Managers to understand the Product roadmap, capture the high level requirements for the product.
- Interact with customers, users, Field and Support engineers to collect information, analyse issues and validate the proposed surface.
- Interact with Community users, standard bodies and owners of the Cypher language to analyse and validate consistency in other areas of the product.
- Interact with other Product Designers to deliver a cohesive User Interface and User Experience.
- Interact with Product Architects to validate the feasibility of the surface with the architecture of the core database.
- Interact with Product Engineering to move from the definition of the surface to the actual implementation.
What You'll Bring:- Knowledge of DBMSs, particularly RDBMS and Graph DBMS: having worked as DBA, Devops and/or on applications that required complex setting of DBMSs for at least five years
- At least five years of programming experience in Java, Go or C/C++
Nice to Have: (but not required)- Experience in a devops position on Linux infrastructure is considered an advantage
- Two or more years of experience in a similar position, as non-graphical UX design, is considered a significant advantage
- Opinionated, comfortable, and experienced in applying modern design idioms and frameworks; jobs-to-be-done, design thinking and others
