Inside the Work Pt 1

We are pulling back the curtain even further to look at what it actually means to build, create, and engineer here at Neo.

What does "fun" mean to an engineer? How do we approach complex technical challenges, and what is our interview process really looking for?

When you ask the engineering team at Neo if the work is fun, you might get a cheeky laugh—but their definition of fun is deeply tied to the impact they make. As the team explains, "fun" at Neo includes seeing the code you worked hard on get shipped into production and witnessing its real-world impact.

Rajan shares his insights into how Neo evaluates new talent. During technical interviews, the focus isn't just on arbitrary coding puzzles. Instead, Rajan shares how Neo asks real world questions centered around problem-solving skills.

Cody shares a powerful example of the complex, cross-layer challenges his team tackles. He recently led the design work for a critical lending system. Head about how tracing a single action—from the exact moment a customer taps their card to the final payment made to Mastercard —was one of the hardest and most intricate parts of the job.

Emphasis on DX

Julio explains that Neo places a massive focus on DX (Developer Experience). The team actively works to make the lives of their fellow developers easier by providing incredible observability into the engineering ecosystem.
