Senior Software Engineer - React Native - Remote Eligible

Senior Software Engineer - React Native

Neko Health is a Swedish health-tech company co-founded in 2018 by Hjalmar Nilsonne and Daniel Ek. Our vision is to create a healthcare system that can help people stay healthy through preventive measures and early detection. Neko has developed a new medical scanning technology concept to make it possible to do broad and non-invasive health data collection that is both convenient and affordable for the public. This requires completely reimagining the healthcare experience and incorporating the latest advances in sensors and AI. We are a remote first company, but the company is based in Stockholm and has over 300 employees across Europe.

About the Role

We develop and maintain a broad range of frontends: applications for our devices, tools for medical professionals, internal platforms, and member-facing web applications. Our current technology stack includes React and C#, with selected use cases where we also explore gaming engines. We are now looking for an engineer with React Native experience to lead the kick-off of a cross-platform mobile app for our members. You will work closely with our UX and backend teams to shape the app from the ground up, establish best practices, and ensure smooth integration with our existing systems. This is a key role in extending our ecosystem into mobile and setting the foundation for long-term growth.

Responsibilities

• Define and drive technical decisions on architecture, project setup, pipelines, and software design
• Establish best practices for cross-platform mobile development, including testing, automation, and release processes
• Implement features in React Native and, where needed, in other parts of our stack
• Contribute to clear technical documentation and support knowledge sharing within the team

Requirements

• Broad background in software engineering with a proven track record of project delivery and technical writing.
• Strong expertise in mobile development, with hands-on experience architecting and delivering cross-platform applications, ideally with React Native.
• Experience working on customer-focused B2C products.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills, essential in our remote-first environment.

About the Engineering Team

Distributed and Remote First

We are nearly 100 full time engineers at the company, working from Berlin, Chamonix, Hamburg, Lisbon, Marseille, Vilnius, and Stockholm, spanning diverse disciplines such as Hardware Engineering, Firmware Development, Electrical Design, Algorithm Development, Machine Learning Development, Optronics Research, Frontend Development and more. We don't expect people to join us with a specific tech knowledge, but we do expect you to work with our tools. We use a mix of React, Typescript, C++, and Python. Our APIs are written in C# with ASP.NET Core, uses Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Active Directory for authentication.

Our headquarters and our hardware development team are in Stockholm, Sweden. We are a Remote First company; however, it is of course much easier to work remotely as a software engineer than a hardware or firmware engineer (since they require access to hardware or devices occasionally). Software engineers based in Stockholm work maybe one day a week or one day every two weeks from the office.

We meet a couple of times per year to get to know each other and have fun.

Organization and Way of Working

The engineering team is divided into smaller cross functional project teams that each focus on a specific goal or target, where some groups are long-lived, and some are short-lived, depending on how big the goal or deliverable is. We strive to create groups which are cross-functional and able to complete their goals without dependence on other teams, even though this is of course not always possible.

Groups track goals on a yearly and quarterly basis with goal follow-up across the entire engineering organization on a bi-weekly basis. Most groups do internal planning on a bi-weekly basis, but in the end it's up to the group to decide how they want to work.

We have, however, mandated that all groups must present their progress or failures or hacks at our bi-weekly engineering demo, a fun meeting/presentation where we talk about everything from short-circuiting power-modules, how hard it is to calibrate cameras or align polygons in space, to neat new command line tools for operations, a new auth mechanism in the backend, a cool new way to visualize health data or a new feature which helps our doctors be more productive.

We have a flexible workplace that focuses on work/life balance, and we strongly believe in our mission but do not think that achieving it requires sacrificing everything else.
