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.
About the Role
Join a high-growth gaming fintech processing transactions across multiple markets and help build the financial engine underneath it. As an early member of Neon's finance team, you'll work directly with leadership to translate our complex business into models, forecasts, and reporting that drive decisions.
This is a rare early-career seat. Rather than being boxed into one product line's variance report at a large corporation, you'll get broad exposure across revenue recognition, unit economics, and board reporting, with real ownership from day one. The core challenge is bringing rigor and clarity to numbers that touch payments, FX, tax, and player behavior all at once.
This role is right for someone early in their finance career, ideally with a banking or corporate finance foundation, who wants to build in a fast-moving environment rather than inherit a mature process.

A clear communicator who can translate numbers into a story for non-finance stakeholders.
Detail-oriented and organized, able to own recurring deliverables without hand-holding.
