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.
We are looking for an Engineering Pod Lead for Growth: a building leader who is obsessed with growth and wants to stay deep in the work. You lead a pod of four to six engineers, spending most of your time building and delivering, and the rest setting technical direction, owning quality and raising the bar for the people around you.
Growth owns how people find Neko, join it, pay for it and bring their friends: the website, waitlist, booking, payments, referrals, invites, membership tiers, B2B, localization, and the launch of every new clinic and market. More clinics and more members mean more lives improved and saved, and the faster we grow, the more lives we reach. You watch the dashboards daily, run experiments in days rather than quarters, and build the loops that compound.
Ship the Growth roadmap on time and at quality, building alongside the pod on the funnel, payments, booking and launches (Impact, not activity).
Set the technical direction for growth at Neko: architecture and instrumentation that let the pod test fast and launches where a new clinic or market is configuration, not a project (Chase 10X, not 10%).
Own quality: what gets tested, how we release, what ships. Public surfaces that are fast, secure, and resilient to fraud and abuse (Member-first, always).
A pod that gets better every quarter: hiring, mentorship, direct feedback, and AI tools in every engineer's loop (Tech-enabled, human-centered).
Know what is really going on, in the code and in the numbers, and say so (Optimistic truth seeking).
Deep experience building consumer products across the stack, with real depth in at least one of payments, growth systems, internationalization or the web platform.
You have owned a funnel, a conversion rate or a revenue line, and moved it.
You have run experiments with discipline and know the difference between a result and noise.
You have led engineers as a tech lead or equivalent and raised a team's standards and judgment. Direct, low-ego, high expectations.
Daily use of AI coding tools, and you can show what you have shipped with them
Launching a consumer product in a new country or market.
Referral, invite or viral loops that drove growth.
A regulated or trust-critical domain: healthcare, fintech or similar.
Fraud, abuse and bot resilience on public surfaces.
