The Role

Neo Financial is hiring a

Lead, Software Developer

to join our team in Calgary, AB. This is your chance to help shape one of the most advanced fintech platforms in the world, build products used by millions of Canadians, and lead at one of the fastest-growing companies in the country.



As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll do more than manage a team--you'll set the technical bar, inspire others, and deliver real impact. You'll guide a team of talented developers, champion best practices, and foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence.

What you'll be doing:

Lead & Inspire

: Mentor, coach, and elevate a high-performing team of developers, ensuring continuous growth and career development.

Raise the Bar

: Set technical standards through hands-on coding, code reviews, and architectural design.

Deliver Impact

: Drive execution of the product roadmap, making smart build vs. buy decisions and ensuring fast, high-quality delivery.

Own the Process

: Optimize agile practices, improve feedback loops, and keep the team laser-focused on outcomes.

Collaborate & Align

: Partner with Product Managers to shape the roadmap, define priorities, and deliver solutions that balance business goals with technical excellence.

Grow the Team

: Recruit top talent, onboard effectively, and build a world-class engineering culture.

Who we are looking for:

A proven technical leader (2+ years as a Manager or Tech Lead) with experience guiding software teams. A hands-on engineer with strong coding skills, design expertise, and a passion for high-quality software. A proactive, pragmatic leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and drives projects to completion. A great communicator who can translate complex technical concepts into clear direction for both teams and stakeholders. Experienced in performance management, agile practices, and building resilient, scalable systems. Based in--or ready to relocate to--Calgary, AB (relocation support available).

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.
