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.

About the Role Neon is hiring its first dedicated Infrastructure Engineer to build the foundation that powers our platform as we scale. You'll take ownership of infrastructure, tooling, and systems reliability, working closely with engineering leadership to ensure our platform remains fast, reliable, and ready for growth. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role with broad scope, ideal for someone who enjoys being a craftsperson and shaping systems from the ground up.

What You'll Do

Lead infrastructure development across AWS, including compute, storage, and networking

Design and maintain data pipelines and internal tooling

Build and maintain Terraform configurations and deployment workflows

Partner with engineers to ensure environments are scalable, secure, and reliable

Build and maintain internal frameworks in TypeScript

What We Look For

2+ years of software engineering experience with focus on infrastructure or platform engineering

Experience with AWS, IaC (e.g. Terraform), and modern deployment frameworks (ECS, DynamoDB, Aurora, Redis, Snowflake) preferred

Comfortable writing code (TypeScript preferred)

Comfortable working across a wide surface area and context‑switching between projects

Collaborative mindset with excitement about being the founding infrastructure hire

Able to work from our offices in San Francisco or New York City
