About Neon
Neon is a modern merchant-of-record platform that enables game studios to sell directly to players. We believe game commerce should be open and transparent: every decision visible, every data point accessible, and incentives aligned to the studio. Founded by payments and fintech veterans who are gamers at heart, Neon focuses on partnership first: we share the playbook, co-pilot decisions, and keep complexity off our customers’ plates. We’re replacing black-box systems with clear, fair, developer-centric infrastructure and solutions.
As an early team member at Neon, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and scale our products, 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 leading investors including Thrive Capital, Griffin Gaming Partners, Ribbit Capital, and a16z’s SPEEDRUN. If you want to build disruptive technology, challenge the status quo, and help game creators thrive on their own terms, Neon is the place to do it.
About the Role
Neon is seeking a Senior Software Engineer who will help lead the development of one of our key work streams. As a design-minded engineer, you’ll bring ideas to life on a blank canvas, turning concepts into functional, beautiful products. You’ll be involved in the full stack of the technology, working hands-on to build and scale a core product that accelerates financial independence for game creators.
What You’ll Do
Develop and maintain both front‑end and back‑end components of the product
Collaborate closely with product leaders, designers, and fellow engineers to define, design, and ship new features
Ensure features are scalable, performant, secure, and user-friendly
Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code, participate in code reviews, maintain documentation

Full-stack background, with strong focuses on React and TypeScript
Excited about learning new things and flexing across the stack as the team evolves alongside you
