As a Neo R&D Manager, you’ll join our highly skilled R&D Neo team ! 

Neo is an online booking tool (OBT) as well as an expense tool for business travel through a SaaS deployment.

It allows a user to search and book a business trip in a user friendly and performent web application. It gives him access to different transport modes and travel suppliers within the travel policy set by his company.

Key to the inner working of those services is the management of profiles and settings. This foundation allows, among other things, to expose user interfaces to manage one’s own profile, ability to the administrator to configure them a rich set of company rules and synchronise inbound and outbound information with external systems. Many of those data are either personal or sensitive, which means a strong commitment to secure principles and compliance to certifications such as PCI-DSS.
