Job description

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!

Senior Software Engineer

About This Role

As a Senior Software Engineer at Kontakt.io, you'll build the systems that orchestrate patient milestones, identify and prioritize discharge barriers, and prevent unit-level bottlenecks before they happen. You'll work across the stack, from data models to user-facing tools, automating escalations and high-census communications across hospital operations. This is a small, product-focused team, so you'll have real ownership from day one: proposing solutions, not just executing tickets.

• Design and build APIs that are simple to use, fast to respond, and scalable
• Build and design UIs for frontend applications
• Develop and deploy container-based applications
• Contribute to event-sourced architecture (Kafka and similar tooling)
• Build new products from the ground up as part of a small, high-ownership team

What You Have

• 4+ years backend experience (Java/Kotlin, Python)
• 2+ years building and designing UIs for frontend applications (Angular)
• Experience with both OOP and functional programming
• 2+ years developing and deploying container-based applications
• Strong Computer Science fundamentals

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with event-sourced architectures (Kafka or similar)
• Background in healthcare, IoT, or another highly regulated industry

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
• Autonomy to solve meaningful problems with work that ships quickly and makes a difference

Compensation

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. In exceptional cases, where a candidate’s experience or qualifications significantly exceed those anticipated for this role, we may consider the candidate for a more senior level. This role may also be eligible for equity and bonus compensation.
