About Neon

Many large companies make billions each year by monetizing Americans’ personal data. At Neon, we’re finally cutting consumers in on the deal. Neon allows our users to make hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars per year by securely selling their anonymized data. We’re backed by Lightspeed, Upper90, Upfront Ventures, and other cool investors.

About the role

This is a builder's role. You will be writing code every day and solving hard engineering problems, specifically around VoIP and telephony. Your work ships to 500,000+ registered users.

We need someone who can balance the chaos of a startup with the stability required for a consumer app. You’ll be integrating real-time communication tools, jumping into the backend when needed, and ensuring the app works flawlessly whether a user is in New York or halfway across the world. If you want to ship fast, break through technical walls, and see your work impact millions of users across the globe, this is the job for you.

We're a small, early-stage team moving fast. Expect roughly 60 hours per week, with occasional weekend work around launches and deadlines. We're upfront about this because we'd rather find people who are energized by that pace than surprise anyone after they join.

You have…

• Authorization to work in the US.
• VoIP knowledge. You know how hard voice communications are. You’ve implemented VoIP, SIP, or WebRTC in a real product and know how to handle the messy reality of call quality and carrier constraints.
• React Native. You've shipped production React Native to both stores, and you know where the framework ends. When it does, you write the native module yourself.
• Building natively. You have significant expertise with Swift, Kotlin, Java, or Objective-C.
• Startup speed. You get things done quickly.
• Full-stack flexibility. You don't stop at the UI and are comfortable digging into the backend APIs and services that power the mobile experience.
• Ownership mentality. As demonstrated by your work quality and personal/open source projects.

Bonus points

• Android native depth. You've gone past the basics: foreground services, background execution limits, and OEM fragmentation.
• International experience. You’ve built apps for non-US markets and know the pain of fragmentation, localization, and varying network conditions.
• Startup experience. You’ve built mobile products in early-stage environments and thrive on ambiguity.
• Telecom background. You’ve worked at a CPaaS or telecom company and understand the ins and outs of global communication.
