# Lead Product Engineer, Engagement 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/77816c3d-5bde-4289-bf6a-e647d32b0e76

## 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 a Lead Product Engineer for Engagement: someone who has shipped consumer apps people love and wants to build the app that follows a member home from their scan. You join a pod of four to six engineers and an Engineering Pod Lead, and you take member problems from idea to production. Engagement owns the Neko app on iOS, Android and web, and everything around it: wearables, notifications, and the screens members meet during the scan and the debrief with their doctor. Members trust us with their health, and every interaction either deepens that trust or loses it. You care about the details that make an app feel great: performance, gestures, transitions.

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

- Ship to production in your first week and own a meaningful part of the app within your first month: native platform, health data, notifications or clinic screens.
- Ship member-facing features end to end in React Native, with Swift or Kotlin where needed, on both platforms and web.
- Build the native platform layer: HealthKit and Health Connect, wearables, push and background work, deep links, biometrics, and the release train from build to staged rollout.
- Build the clinic screens: the scan and debrief experiences.
- Hold the quality bar with AI tools in your daily loop: crash-free rate, performance, and the details members feel on every screen.

## Minimum Qualifications

- Experience building mobile apps with real customer usage: deep React Native, with real Swift or Kotlin.
- You have shipped consumer features end to end, and you solve the problem regardless of the tool.
- Experience with an app store release process and what it takes to keep an app crash-free.
- Daily use of AI coding tools, and you can show what you have shipped with them.
- You work well with product, design, and other teams, and translate technical decisions into what they mean for members.

## Preferred Qualifications

- On-device health data (HealthKit, Health Connect), wearables or notifications at scale.
- Health, fitness, or behavioral products where engagement made a real difference to people's lives.
- A strong eye for motion and animation on mobile.

## 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.
