Skin Health Specialist - APP

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.

What You'll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months - Skin lesions, tagged for review by the scanning clinicians, and then reviewed by our dermatology specialists, are signed off on in a timely manner and referral care pathways for dermatologic findings are documented, implemented, and adopted across active US clinics, ensuring members get the care they need with the right level of specialist review and scanning clinicians have a clear path to specialist input.
