Laboratory Technologist

About this role

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

We are hiring a Laboratory Technologist for the clinical laboratory at our Miami/Aventura clinic. The Laboratory Technologist performs and verifies moderate-complexity chemistry and hematology testing on Abbott Alinity and Sysmex analyzers, keeps instruments in a state of continuous readiness, and maintains the records that make the lab inspection-ready.
