Neko Health is redefining preventative care through data-driven, non-invasive health assessments delivered in under an hour. The company combines proprietary technology with direct clinical care to provide personalized, actionable health insights before symptoms appear. You will lead an Engineering Pod of 4–6 engineers focused on Growth, balancing hands-on building with technical leadership. Growth owns the entire user journey: website, waitlist, booking, payments, referrals, invites, membership tiers, B2B partnerships, localization, and clinic/market launches. Your success directly translates to more lives reached and improved. In your first 6–12 months, you will: - Ship the Growth roadmap on time and at quality, building alongside your pod on the funnel, payments, booking, and launches. - Set technical direction for growth systems: architecture and instrumentation that enable fast experimentation and make new clinic/market launches configuration-driven rather than project-driven. - Own quality standards: testing rigor, release processes, and public-facing surfaces that are fast, secure, and resilient to fraud and abuse. - Build a high-performing pod through hiring, mentorship, direct feedback, and integration of AI tools into every engineer's workflow. - Maintain visibility into both code and metrics, communicating findings with clarity and intellectual honesty. You will work across a modern stack: React, React Native, TypeScript, Next.js, Sanity, Vercel (frontend); C#, Node, Cosmos DB (backend); Figma (design); Azure DevOps and Claude Code (tooling). REQUIREMENTS: - Deep experience building consumer products across the stack, with real depth in at least one of: payments, growth systems, internationalization, or web platform. - Proven track record owning a funnel, conversion rate, or revenue line and moving it meaningfully. - Disciplined approach to running experiments; ability to distinguish signal from noise. - Experience leading engineers as a tech lead or equivalent, raising team standards and judgment. Direct communication, low ego, high expectations. - Daily use of AI coding tools with demonstrated shipped work. PREFERRED: - Experience launching a consumer product in a new country or market. - Built referral, invite, or viral loops that drove growth. - Background in regulated or trust-critical domains (healthcare, fintech, or similar). - Experience with fraud, abuse, and bot resilience on public surfaces.
