Security Engineer – Cloud Security (Azure) Full Time

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%.

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.

Organization and Way of Working

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.

About Titles At Neko

We use a simplified internal title framework that prioritises clarity over hierarchy, so internal titles may differ from market‑facing 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.
