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.
