Mission
Neko is redefining what prevention means, from treating illness when it arrives, to sustaining health before it's ever at risk. Our mission: make data-driven, preventative care accessible to more people, before symptoms appear.
In a single, non-invasive visit under an hour, proprietary technology and direct clinical care combine to deliver personalised, actionable insights. It's a team that thinks in 10x, not 10%. Every role here plays a part in building a world where prevention is the norm, and where your work genuinely helps people live longer, healthier lives.
Role Purpose
The Director of Software Engineering, Platform will lead the design, scaling, and reliability of Neko Health’s core infrastructure. This platform underpins health data, member data, and system reliability across clinics and internal product systems.
This role is mission-critical: platform failures directly impact clinic operations and patient care. You will deliver an AI-first platform that ensures absolute resilience and regional scale, enabling the rest of the organization to scale our impact 10X faster.
