About The Engineering Team

Distributed and Remote First. Neko Health has nearly 100 full‑time engineers working across Berlin, Chamonix, Hamburg, Lisbon, Marseille, Vilnius, and Stockholm, covering disciplines such as Hardware Engineering, Firmware Development, Electrical Design, Algorithm Development, Machine Learning, Optronics Research, and Software Engineering. Our technology stack includes React, TypeScript, C++, Python, and C# with ASP.NET Core. We use Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Active Directory for authentication. We are a Remote‑First company, though some hardware and firmware roles require occasional access to physical devices. Software engineers in Stockholm typically visit the office once every one to two weeks. Teams meet in person a few times per year for collaboration and team building. Engineering is structured into small, cross‑functional teams aligned to specific goals. Some teams are long‑lived while others are formed for targeted initiatives. Teams aim to operate autonomously while collaborating across the organization when needed. Goals are tracked quarterly and annually, with bi‑weekly organization‑wide progress reviews. Teams typically plan on a bi‑weekly cadence but retain flexibility in how they work. All teams present progress, experiments, and learnings during bi‑weekly engineering demos, covering topics ranging from hardware challenges and system calibration to new infrastructure, backend capabilities, and data visualization innovations that improve clinical productivity. Neko Health promotes a flexible workplace focused on work‑life balance. We are deeply committed to our mission while believing meaningful impact should not require sacrificing personal wellbeing.
