Maintain clear, comprehensive documentation of graph schemas, data models, and related processes using tools such as Confluence.

Engage directly with customers to understand operational challenges and propose effective technical solutions.

Skill Requirements: Experience or interest in graph databases, such as Neo4j, with a willingness to learn specific tools like Cypher.
