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.

Deep understanding of payment lifecycle, routing logic, and acquirer performance management. Analytical and technically fluent; able to translate data into actionable system changes. Experience integrating or managing external fraud and payment solutions. xrczosw Strong collaboration and stakeholder management across technical and operational teams.
