About Neon

Neon is a global payments and e-commerce platform designed to help game publishers earn more money and independence from app stores. We believe commerce should be open and transparent: clear decisions, actionable insights, and aligned incentives. Founded by payments, fintech and gaming veterans, Neon focuses on product and partnership excellence: we share the playbook, co-pilot decisions, and abstract away risk and complexity for our customers. We’re replacing old-school, black-box relics with clear, modern, and developer-centric infrastructure.

As an early team member, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and scale Neon’s product and culture, making a direct impact on our growth and success. You’ll join a collaborative, diverse team from world-class companies like Apple, Affirm, Unity, and Visa, backed by renowned VC's including Thrive, a16z, Griffin Gaming, Ribbit, and Renegade. If you want to build disruptive technology, challenge the status quo, and help game creators thrive on their own terms, read on.

  • Clear Communicator: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a real passion for fintech, payments, e-commerce, and/or gaming that energizes others.

  • Operational Excellence: Exceptionally organized with strong project management skills, an eye for detail, and a track record of executing complex initiatives.
  • Adaptive Grit: Scrappy, high-agency, and comfortable navigating uncertainty. You adjust fast, pitch in wherever needed, and create momentum in unstructured environments.
