# Design Engineer, Member Experience at Neko Health

- **Company:** [Neko Health](https://feeny.ai/companies/neko-health)
- **Location:** Stockholm, Sweden
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** hybrid
- **Posted:** 2026-10-02
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-11-08
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/neko-health/bc21b16d-34d1-4b25-9ab3-7d4317d2d9db

## Job description

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

We are looking for an exceptional Design Engineer to own how Neko looks and feels in code, across every surface a member touches: app, web, wearables, clinic and scan room. You take design from Figma to production, hold the bar for interaction, motion and animation, and build the design system that lets a small team ship fast and consistently, whether the code is written by a person or an agent. This is a role for someone who moves quickly, has strong product taste, and cares about getting the details right, because those details are what make a product feel great. Neko has to feel like the future of healthcare.

What You'll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months

- Ship member-facing experiences end to end across app, web, wearables and clinic screens, with prototypes in code within a day (Member-first, always).
- One cross-platform design system, built with Design and Motion: co-define component contracts, own them in code, and carry our motion language into the product (Chase 10X, not 10%).
- Drive adoption: move existing products onto the system, replace duplicated components, and make it the easiest choice for every engineer and their AI tools (Impact, not activity).
- A design system agents can use as well as people: typed, documented and opinionated enough that generated UI looks like Neko by default (Tech-enabled, human-centered).
- Keep evaluating new models and design tooling and rebuilding our workflow when something better comes along (Optimistic truth seeking).

## Minimum Qualifications

- Deep front-end experience with TypeScript, React and React Native, and a portfolio of shipped work you are proud of. Taste is the first thing we look at.
- A sharp eye for design, interaction and detail: spacing, motion, typography, accessibility and performance.
- You have built or owned a design system other engineers adopted and raised the craft bar for a team.
- A product mindset and the ability to move quickly from idea to production, across the stack when needed.
- Fluent in Figma, including variables and design token pipelines with multi-platform output. You use AI coding tools every day, and you still check every pixel yourself.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Animation and motion on native mobile: Reanimated, Lottie, Rive or similar.
- Building LLM-powered interfaces or AI-driven products.
- Designing for wearables or for screens that run on physical hardware.
- Healthcare, or another field where calm, trust and clarity are the product.

## Our Stack

- Frontend: React, React Native, TypeScript, Swift and Kotlin where needed, Next.js, Sanity, Vercel
- Backend: C#, Node, Cosmos DB
- Design: Figma
- Tooling: Azure DevOps, Claude Code

## About Neko Health

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Neko Health is a healthcare technology company that has engineered a proprietary, data-driven preventive health scan to detect early signs of disease in otherwise healthy individuals.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Funding Stage: Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Stockholm, Sweden
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Daniel Ek (Co-founder, also founder/CEO of Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Healthcare Technology, Preventive Medicine, Clinical Diagnostics
- Target customers: B2C – Health-conscious individuals; B2B Potential – Self-insured employers
- Mission or purpose statement: “To provide healthcare that’s proactive instead of reactive – so that people can live longer, healthier lives.”

## Products & Services
- **[The Neko Health Scan]**: A 60-minute, full-body health check that captures millions of data points across the skin, heart, blood, and circulation using four proprietary devices (Derma, Spectrum, Echo, and Neko Lens). Includes an unrushed consultation with a doctor where results are discussed immediately. The scan is priced at approximately 2750kr (~$260) in Sweden and is designed for asymptomatic, healthy individuals looking for prevention.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (as of mid-2026).
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – **$325.1M** (one prior funding round).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by “investors who have built and scaled some of the most ambitious technology companies of the last two decades” (individual names not publicly listed on career page). The company has strong ties to the tech and startup ecosystem.
- **Growth Signals**: Over 1,000 employees (more than half in clinical roles). Aggressive expansion with active clinic locations in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Stockholm, and plans for more. Job postings have increased +344.4% year-over-year (as of mid-2026), indicating rapid scaling.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary Hardware**: All four scanning devices are designed, engineered, and assembled in-house in Stockholm, creating a hard-to-replicate technological moat.
- **Integrated Clinical Model**: Unlike traditional clinics or digital health apps, Neko combines its proprietary hardware with on-site doctors, clinical researchers, and data science under one roof with a low patient volume per doctor ( ~9 members/day vs. 30+ in standard care). This enables a focus on prevention, not just treatment.
- **Data Moat**: The system captures millions of structured data points per scan, allowing for peer benchmarking and longitudinal tracking over years, creating a powerful, network-effect dataset for preventive health insights.
- **Leadership**: Co-founded by Daniel Ek (Spotify) and Hjalmar Nilsonne.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Scan Room**: Neko is actively testing a second-generation modular scan room platform designed to capture more signals and scale to new locations.
- **Global Expansion**: Opening new clinics across the UK and Europe, with a clear intent to make the service more accessible.
- **Clinical Research & Governance**: Continued focus on validating their devices with clinical studies and building a clinical leadership team (including ex-NHS and Amazon Health executives) to establish preventive care as a formal clinical discipline.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: The company was founded to solve the fundamental problem of late-stage diagnosis by focusing on prevention. The work is presented as having a direct, positive impact on human longevity.
- **Culture & Engineering**: The company actively showcases a deep engineering culture where “clinical insight can become a hardware iteration overnight.” Clinicians and engineers share the same floor, fostering rapid iteration and innovation.
- **Compensation & Benefits**: Salaries are benchmarked via market research. Benefits include comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, 401K, Paid Time Off, Life Insurance, Disability Insurance, CME Days, and Commuter Benefits.
- **Work Model**: Roles are **on-site** at specific clinic locations. Training for medical roles is fully paid. The interview process is designed to give candidates a feel for the culture and mission.
- **Growth Trajectory**: With 80+ active job postings and triple-digit growth in hiring, the company is in a high-growth phase, offering significant career development opportunities.
