Mobile-first fintech platform for Canadian consumer banking and embedded finance
Neo is a Canadian fintech platform serving over one million users with mobile banking, credit, and embedded financial tools. The tech stack is mobile-native (Swift, Kotlin, React Native) paired with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Snowflake, Node.js), reflecting a consumer-app-first architecture. Hiring is heavily sales-weighted (81 roles across 147 open positions), while engineering headcount remains lean—a structure typical of platform companies prioritizing distribution and partnerships over internal product velocity. Active projects span customer acquisition, profitability optimization, and operational scaling, against a backdrop of pain points around unit economics, technical hiring friction, and app performance.
