Job Description
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.
Physician to deliver Neko's preventive-care model to members in Washington, DC, using advanced, non-invasive technology and clinical expertise to identify health risks early and translate findings into action plans that genuinely change what a member does next.
This is a deeply collaborative role at the intersection of clinical excellence, member experience, and a conviction that catching things early changes lives. You'll work closely with Operators, APPs, and cross-functional partners to deliver a connected, insight-driven member experience.
What You'll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months
Comprehensive preventive health screenings delivered using Neko's high-resolution skin imaging, cardiovascular assessments, and AI-powered decision support — with consistent quality across every member visit.
Personalized, action-oriented health plans created from screening data, translated into next steps the member actually takes — measured by member follow-through and downstream outcomes.
Member education on dermatological and cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle strategies that lands — measured by how the member felt about the consultation, not just the clinical findings.
Clinical oversight and escalation support provided to APPs, raising the bar for clinical quality and team performance across the clinic.
Cross-functional collaboration with Operators, APPs, and care teams that improves continuity of care and the end-to-end member experience.
What We're Hiring For
Genuine, personal commitment to preventive medicine — not just as a specialism, but as a way of practicing. You think it's wrong that this isn't how everyone practices medicine.
Member-first instinct — you take the member experience personally, not just procedurally, and measure a consultation's success by how the member felt, not only by the findings.
Team-lifting collaboration — you make the people around you better by showing up consistently, sharing what you know, and caring how the team performs as a whole.

Benefits
- Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and mental health coverage.
- Complimentary full Neko scan for you and eligible family members.
- CME benefits.
- Flexible time off.
