Mission
Neko Health exists to shift healthcare from treating illness to preventing it, using advanced, nonāinvasive technology and clinical expertise to deliver early, actionable health insights.
The Role
This is a 0ā1 build. You'll own the architecture, build and rollout of Neko's internal AI developer platform, shaping how our engineers design, ship and operate software through agentic, AI-assisted workflows.
It's a hands-on technical leadership role. You'll be the person setting long-term direction for AI agents, tooling and the systems underneath them, while also doing the work. The expectation is that what you build gets used across teams and meaningfully changes how engineering happens here.
What You'll Deliver
In the first 6 months
A clear architectural direction for the platform
Initial components shipped and adopted by early teams
Measurable improvements to developer speed, reliability and autonomy
Genuine organic adoption across engineering, driven by value not mandate
By month 12
A substantive shift toward agentic, engineer-led development workflows
Platform scaled beyond pilot groups to multiple teams
Clear ownership models for agents, tooling and supporting systems
Long-term architecture defined and moving toward maturity
What We're Looking For
Must-haves
Proven experience building and shipping an internal developer platform, hands-on, not advisory
A strong track record leading agentic or AI-assisted development work that engineers actually use day-to-day
Real backend engineering depth with production systems, recent Java or C# strongly preferred
Experience rolling out platform tooling to 20-30+ developers with meaningful adoption
Expertise with workflow engines such as AWS Step Functions, Azure Durable Functions, Temporal, Conductor or Dagster
The ability to drive change through influence and credibility, not positional authority
10-15+ years of engineering experience with substantial platform ownership
Nice to have
Full-stack exposure, though backend depth is the priority
Background in product-led SaaS or organisations with strong internal developer tooling culture
About titles at Neko
We use a simplified internal title framework that prioritises clarity over hierarchy, so internal titles may differ from marketāfacing role titles. Scope, impact and level of the role are fully aligned and will be clearly discussed throughout the process.
Hiring Process
Candidates progress from application and structured screening through thoughtfully designed interviews culminating in a formal offer and final pre-employment checks before joining the team.
