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.
