The posting, in Neko Health's own words
archived Oct 27, 2026Mission
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.
The Design Challenge
Neko's product is not a screen. It is a member journey that runs from booking through a full-body scan to a clinical conversation and everything that follows. Digital, clinical and physical, held together as one experience. The hardest and most interesting part is the data. A Neko scan produces more information about a person's health than most people will see in a lifetime, and it lands with someone who is not a clinician. Making that intuitive, trustworthy and genuinely actionable is the central design problem here, and nobody has solved it yet. Our answer starts from one principle: the power to act stays in the member's hands. We design experiences that inspire people to engage with their health, and put the power to act on it in their hands, rather than deciding for them. Every designer here, at every level, advocates for that agency.

Role Purpose
As a Principal Product Designer, you shape the function, not only your own work. You identify and frame the highest-leverage problems across an area and, increasingly, across Neko. You create concepts that shift product direction, and you build shared direction across teams and disciplines so that good decisions get made without your constant involvement. You lead other designers, including Leads: you set direction for them, grow the next Area and Pod Leads, and may manage managers as the team grows. You will be Area Lead from day one for a named part of the experience, one responsible person with the power to make design decisions in it, and you will form and lead a pod around it when the signals say so. You can still deliver exceptional work personally, and you will carry the most conceptual big bets. Increasingly, though, you create leverage through direction, critique, principles and patterns that raise the quality of everyone's work. You also carry the product design vision work alongside the Head of Creative. You'll report to the Product Design Director.
