Our Market

The crisis: Sarah delayed cancer treatment for weeks facing massive monthly costs. Marcus's autoimmune condition worsened while battling insurance denials.

Over 50% of critical prescriptions are abandoned due to:

• Cost barriers: Patients with high copays are 5x more likely to abandon treatment
• Insurance maze: Complex prior authorizations block access
• Logistical challenges: Coordinating medical visits for treatments

Neon's technology eliminates these obstacles by automating patient access workflows for pharma companies: —automating authorizations, streamlining benefits verification, and unlocking financial assistance.

Why Join?

• Frighteningly ambitious: We’re seasoned builders on a mission to create a $200B+ company—on the scale of Palantir or ServiceNow—serving the largest healthcare enterprises.
• Experienced founding team: Built by exited founders, YC & MIT alum, ex-Tesla, ex-Google engineers.
• Hypergrowth with stability: We went from initial idea to 7+ figure customer contracts in just 4 months—in an industry where sales cycles typically take 12-18 months. We are profitable and relentlessly focused on execution.
• Powerhouse backing: We’re funded by elite Silicon Valley VCs who've backed unicorns like DoorDash, Lyft, and Mammoth Biosciences. And strategic healthcare investors with deep industry connections.
• Outsized impact & opportunity: Work at the intersection of agentic AI, healthcare transformation, and life-changing patient outcomes.

Required Skills

Technical skills:

• Proficiency with Node, Typescript, and Python.
• Good understanding of system design concepts - distributed systems, reliability/performance tradeoffs
• Experience in API design, implementation, and documentation
• Experience using AI coding tools (Cursor, Github Copilot, Claude, etc)
• Experience working with CI/CD systems and good DevOps skills a nice to have
• Excellent documentation and testing habits
• Proficiency with version control (Git)

Soft skills:

• 10x mindset - you’ll be among the first engineering hires!
• You are a fun human!
• Good time management and planning skills

Experience

4-7 years of experience (or equivalent) as a software engineer.
