Dermatologist

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.

Role Purpose

This is a clinical role at the center of Neko's dermatology pathway. Every member who receives an abnormal skin finding from their Neko scan will be seen, assessed, and triaged by this clinician — determining whether findings can be reassured and discharged or require referral to a community dermatologist.

You will not be managing ongoing dermatology care or initiating treatment for complex skin conditions — those cases go directly to a community dermatologist. You will be the clinical authority on whether a finding is actionable, and the person responsible for ensuring the right members reach the right specialist without delay.

What You'll Deliver in the First 6–12 Months

• All abnormal skin scan findings are reviewed, interpreted, and triaged with accuracy and speed — no member falls through the gap.

• Clear, structured clinical documentation is in place for every encounter, fully compliant with applicable state and federal requirements.

• Dermatology triage protocols are actively refined in collaboration with the Medical Innovation team, keeping pace with AAD guidelines and evolving US regulatory standards.

• A community referral network is established and maintained — dermatologists and dermatopathology services — across each market we operate in.
