## 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.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior System Verification Engineer, Software, you own and you are responsible for the system-level verification of our health software products. You define the test methods for system-level verification, develop the system tests those methods call for, and automate them, so software ships quickly and with high confidence in its safety, performance and compliance.

You'll join the Verification & Validation team, which supports Neko’s regulated product portfolio spanning SaMD and health software, and hardware medical devices (instruments). The team is small, growing and fast-moving, with real room to shape engineering quality, verification strategy, and how products are built as we scale.

## WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Plan, execute and document system-level verification for SaMD and health software products, including complex interconnected systems.
- Design and implement test methods for regression and end-to-end system testing
- Build and improve the test automation and infrastructure that make verification faster, more reliable and broader in coverage, integrated into the development and release pipelines.
- Turn software and system requirements into test methods and acceptance criteria, and work with software, data & AI and firmware engineers to make requirements clear, concrete and testable.
- Ensure that traceability matrices and V&V evidence are up to date so that every requirement is covered by verification throughout the product lifetime
- Automate the generation of audit-ready verification reports documenting results, defects and compliance status, and communicate findings to the teams that need them.
- Ensure verification activities comply applicable regulatory standards (IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 82304-1, ISO 13485, EU MDR, FDA 21 CFR Part 820).
- Contribute to continuous improvements on how the team documents and reports verification, so practice is consistent across projects.

## ABOUT YOU

Must-have:

- Verification of software in a regulated setting: 5+ years in system-level verification of SaMD or comparable regulated software products.
- Test automation you built yourself: frameworks, scripting and tooling for integration, regression and end-to-end testing, integrated into CI and release pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, Jenkins or equivalent).
- Programming fluency to read and reason about the code you are verifying
- From requirements to test methods: turning software and system requirements into verification strategies and acceptance criteria and saying so when a requirement is not testable as written.
- Software lifecycle depth: IEC 62304 lifecycle processes (or comparable), software risk management under ISO 14971, and system integration testing across interconnected systems.
- Verification that stands up in an audit: traceability matrices, V&V plans and audit-ready reports, in clear and structured English.
- A degree in a relevant technical field: Software, Computer or Electrical Engineering, Physics or similar.

Nice to have:

- Hands-on verification of software products built on machine learning or algorithms
- Verifying software that spans cloud services and mobile apps end to end.
- Contributing to FDA submissions, EU MDR technical files or Notified Body audits.
- Experience using AI tools and agents in your own work
- Setting up reporting and dashboarding for continuous verification (results, coverage, traceability) inside build pipelines.
- Working alongside embedded verification on products where software runs on our own hardware.

## WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Our software portfolio is growing faster than manual verification can scale, and it carries clinical decisions: what a member is told about a mole, a blood pressure reading or a heart signal. As a Senior System Verification Engineer, Software you build the verification that makes those answers trustworthy, and the automation that keeps it fast enough to ship frequently/regularly.

## 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.
