- Ability to balance competing priorities and make pragmatic technical decisions
- Flexible mindset and comfort working across different projects, contexts and tech stacks
- Strong willingness and ability to learn new technologies and domains

- You'll be part of cross-functional project teams that include hardware, firmware, ML, algorithms, and frontend specialists
- Our engineering teams are organised into smaller groups, each focused on specific goals or deliverables, with the flexibility to be long-lived or short-term depending on the mission
- Design, develop, and operate our backend services, APIs and health data platforms that power our scanning technology, clinical and business operational workflows
- Build and maintain integrations with our proprietary medical devices and vendor-built medical devices
- Manage and evolve our Azure-based infrastructure, ensuring always-on reliability, security, and compliance
- Debug interactions and assist other teams with device communication and backend services (mostly C#)

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Neko Health is a preventative healthcare technology company dedicated to establishing a healthcare system centred around preventive measures and early detection.
The company's medical scanning technology aims to enhance health data collection by providing a broad and non-invasive approach that is both convenient and affordable for the public. Conducted in just 10 minutes, the scan utilises over 70 sensors to gather 50 million data points, enabling healthcare professionals to detect diseases at their early stages, including skin conditions/cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes.
The Swedish brand recently brought its body-scanning suite to London and raised significant funding, signalling a strong future of growth. With this funding, the company is now focused on expanding even further, hoping ti bring its technology to the US once it receives the necessary regulatory approvals. By bringing accessible and efficient preventive healthcare to the forefront, Neko Health seeks to enable individuals to take proactive control of their health and well-being, contributing to a healthier and happier society.
