Senior Software Engineer

About Kontakt.io

Inside health systems, where every second can matter, operations are still spread across dozens of disconnected tools and platforms. Kontakt.io is changing that.

We combine proprietary hardware, AI-powered intelligence, and deep integrations with the technology health systems already have in place to build real-time understanding of what's happening across their operations. That intelligence becomes the execution layer care teams have been missing, helping them make smarter decisions and deliver better patient care.

Backed by Goldman Sachs and trusted by leading health systems including HCA Healthcare, Sutter Health, AdventHealth, Trinity Health, Northwell Health, Cleveland Clinic, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, we’ve more than doubled our revenue and are rapidly scaling with a clear path toward $100M in annual recurring revenue.

If you're excited to solve hard problems and help health systems deliver better care, we'd love to meet you!

Logistics, Perks & Benefits

• Built for collaboration - our team a hybrid schedule of 3 days/week minimum from our New York City office

• Equity in a high-growth company scaling toward $400M+ ARR and backed by leading investors

• Full health, dental, and vision coverage, a 401k, paid time off, paid parental leave and all the tools you need to do your best work

The expected salary range for this role is $200,000 – $250,000 for New York-based candidates. Actual compensation within this range will be determined based on relevant experience, skills, and qualifications.
