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

Physician to deliver Neko's preventive-care model to members in Washington, DC, using advanced, non-invasive technology and clinical expertise to identify health risks early and translate findings into action plans that genuinely change what a member does next. This is a deeply collaborative role at the intersection of clinical excellence, member experience, and a conviction that catching things early changes lives. You'll work closely with Operators, APPs, and cross-functional partners to deliver a connected, insight-driven member experience.

WHAT YOU'LL DELIVER IN THE FIRST 6–12 MONTHS

  • Comprehensive preventive health screenings delivered using Neko's high-resolution skin imaging, cardiovascular assessments, and AI-powered decision support — with consistent quality across every member visit.
  • Personalized, action-oriented health plans created from screening data, translated into next steps the member actually takes — measured by member follow-through and downstream outcomes.
  • Member education on dermatological and cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle strategies that lands — measured by how the member felt about the consultation, not just the clinical findings.
  • Clinical oversight and escalation support provided to APPs, raising the bar for clinical quality and team performance across the clinic.
  • Cross-functional collaboration with Operators, APPs, and care teams that improves continuity of care and the end-to-end member experience.

WHAT WE'RE HIRING FOR

  • Genuine, personal commitment to preventive medicine — not just as a specialism, but as a way of practicing. You think it's wrong that this isn't how everyone practices medicine.
  • Member-first instinct — you take the member experience personally, not just procedurally, and measure a consultation's success by how the member felt, not only by the findings.
  • Team-lifting collaboration — you make the people around you better by showing up consistently, sharing what you know, and caring how the team performs as a whole.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

  • Active District of Columbia medical license.
  • Board certified in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or equivalent.
  • At least 1 year of post-residency experience.
  • Recent outpatient experience (at least a year in the past 5 years).
  • Comfort working in a tech-forward, fast-moving clinical environment.

BENEFITS

  • Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and mental health coverage.
  • Complimentary full Neko scan for you and eligible family members.
  • CME benefits.
  • Flexible time off.
