We’re a small team of bold engineers who want to transform the financial services industry. We’re committed to providing our clients with the best possible user experience, and we’re looking to add full stack JavaScript developers to create forward-thinking solutions in a complicated space.
Neat’s tech team doesn’t work in a hierarchy. Instead, all levels of our engineers (including our CTO!) work together on larger projects and individually take ownership of the smaller ones.

“I love working with awesome people. Working here was more about the bigger picture of solving problems and helping borrowers. Day to day is working with the best people and hard problems.”
Steve Herschleb is the co-founder and CTO of Neat. He and his team created the proprietary technology we know and love as Neatify. Before Neat he worked in the automotive industry making electric power steering software, dabbled in social commerce, and then went back to school at CU Boulder to learn about entrepreneurship and business to combine with his tech background. Steve manages a hard-working and fun team where he doesn’t believe in hierarchy. Instead of an office where he huddles away, he works with his team in a group setting and has developed a hands off but also subtle guidance as an approach to management to allow agency and growth within his team.

"You can literally make a change in the entire company, just from one conversation, just by walking over to someone’s desk. We all have the same goal here: to make Neat better and more efficient.”
"If you’re looking to work at a start-up with all of the cool perks, this is the place to do it! We have a tightly knit community that plays leagues and tournaments. Perks like free breakfast, snacks, coffee. And some of the brightest minds working on creating a new way to do mortgages."
"We have a flat structure that allows all developers to have an input. If you have ideas, bring them up or work on them. The choice is yours and we welcome new ideas.”
“The office vibe is definitely casual, but also hard-working. We get together to collaborate on ideas and ways to solve issues, and that might happen over a beer or a ping pong game.”
Founded in 2015, Neat set out to remove much of the frustration typically associated with obtaining a home loan, by automating the entire lending process with modern and proprietary pricing algorithms, underwriting approval, and loan production. Simply stated, Neat takes the mess out of mortgage.
We know this sounds crazy, but someone had to do it! And that’s exactly what we did. Two years later, in 2017, our home lending platform was launched with an online application and an average of 13 days to finance a loan. Yup, you read that right, 13 days! We’ve maintained that number since our initial launch. In the same year, we reached $1million in first year revenue. But we knew there was more to be done to perfect our tech.
In 2018 our pricing and underwriting engine was released, and in 2019 we launched our own instant pre-approval with a soft credit pull. And in 2020 our direct to consumer channel was shared with the world as well as reaching a $1 billion run rate in loan applications.
That brings us to today, we have created the first modern core banking loan origination system.
