Calgary, Canada Neo Financial Full time

Come Build a Better Financial Future for all Canadians 

At Neo, we’re building a more rewarding financial experience for all Canadians.  

Life at a rapidly expanding tech startup is demanding, exhilarating, and not for everyone.

From world-class creative minds to brilliant engineers, it's high-performing people that make Neo a workplace with passion and purpose.

Since being founded in 2019, Neo has built incredible traction and is one of the fastest growing fintechs in Canada. 

  • LinkedIn’s Top Startup in Canada for 2022 and 2023
  • Top-ranked mobile apps and credit cards
  • Canada’s top-rated credit card
  • Team of 700+ people
  • 1M+ customers in 3 years 
  • 11K+ retail partners

High Performance at Neo

We recruit, hire, and build our company culture around these attributes:

Teamwork: We trust, respect, encourage, and show up for each other — through good times and hard. We’re on this mission not just for ourselves, but also for the people we work with — and ultimately, for our customers.

Ownership: We all have a stake in Neo’s success — so we go out of our way to do what needs to get done. We hold ourselves accountable to deliver on our commitments — to our customers, to our partners, and to our team. When we fall short, we find a way to do better in the future.

Professional Integrity: We’re asking millions of Canadians to trust us with their hard-earned money — so we hold ourselves (and each other) to the highest standards of integrity.

The role

Neo Financial is looking for a full-time Director of Software Development to lead multiple teams. You’ll work hand in hand with Software Developers focusing on building company culture, people leadership, coaching and team performance. Directors also own strategic projects and facilitate change across the entire organization. You will be empowered to turn your ideas into actions and to help shape the future of Neo’s engineering department.

What you'll be doing

  • Building - Help push Neo to be a top engineering organization through recruiting, retaining, coaching individuals helping to shape team organization, and finding ways to do more with less. Set the pace while engaging engineering, product, and other relevant business stakeholders to keep the entire team aligned
  • Motivating - You will inspire teams through goal setting, clear expectations, and helping to explain and navigate the priorities of a fast moving company. You will work to set goals for individuals and teams and will more importantly keep them accountable as you push for excellence
  • Iterating - You are a change agent that will continue to evolve and mature current engineering practices as Neo pushes to always improve the quality, stability, and efficiency of software deliver

Who we are looking for

  • Former developers, architects, or engineers who have experience managing and leading multiple agile teams
  • Humble leaders who build through service, but who are not afraid to speak up, provide feedback, or hold teammates accountable
  • Builders who have experience growing larger teams through continuous recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and training
  • Achievers who aren’t happy with an average team and genuinely want to build the best software development team in Canada
  • Key players in high-growth companies. You know what it’s like to work in a truly fast-moving startup environment and you’re brave enough to do it again

Working at Neo

Joining Neo means betting on yourself and discovering your full potential. As individuals and as a team, we continually challenge ourselves and each other to do our best work. We’re making change happen at a rapid pace — providing endless opportunities to sharpen your skills, expand your knowledge, and find new solutions to complex problems. That means rapid career progression and constant learning opportunities. 

The people who thrive at Neo are resourceful, relentless, and want to win. We hold ourselves to high standards, because we’re on a mission that matters — to transform financial services for the better. If that’s what you’re looking for, read on.

We trust, respect, and show up for each other. That means truthful conversations, frequent feedback, and working with people who push you to be your best. We’re evolving quickly as an organization, we work together in person, and the pace of progress isn’t for everyone. That’s why we’re looking for change-makers who love a challenge — who would rather blaze a trail through uncertainty than travel a well-paved road.

Our team members earn meaningful equity in the company through stock options — so Neo’s growth benefits everyone who helps make it happen. That also means taking on more responsibility than you may have had at your last job. We don’t get hung up on job titles or hierarchy — we’re focused on doing what it takes to accomplish our mission.
