About Neko Health Neko Health is reimagining healthcare from the ground up. Co-founded in 2018 by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek (Spotify), we've built breakthrough scanning technology that captures 50 million data points in just 10 minutes using 70+ sensors. Our mission: detect disease early, not treat it late. We scan for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and metabolic conditions before symptoms appear, making preventative healthcare convenient, comprehensive, and affordable. With over 500 employees and clinics in Stockholm, London, and Manchester (plus our first US location launching later this year), we're scaling rapidly to help millions of people stay healthy.
About The Role We're looking for a Backend Engineer to help build and scale the secure, high-performance health data platform powering our medical scanning technology. You'll work across the entire chain, from design to deployment, developing APIs, data platforms, third-party integrations, and infrastructure that processes millions of health data points whilst meeting stringent regulatory and security requirements.
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.
