## Job description

**About** [**Kontakt.io**](http://Kontakt.io)

Inside health systems, where every second can matter, operations are still spread across dozens of disconnected tools and platforms.[Kontakt.io](http://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!

## **About the Role**

As a **Technical Talent Acquisition Specialist**, you will play a critical role in building [Kontakt.io](http://Kontakt.io)’s Engineering organization by identifying and engaging high-caliber software engineers.

* Stay informed on Software Engineering talent markets, competitor hiring trends, and emerging sourcing channels.
* Deliver a strong candidate experience from the very first interaction.

## **What You’ll Bring**

* 2–4 years of hands-on experience sourcing technical talent is required.
* Demonstrated success identifying and engaging highly sought-after passive Engineering candidates.
* Strong understanding of Engineering profiles and the ability to evaluate candidates based on their technical environment, experience, scope, and trajectory.
* Familiarity sourcing across areas such as Frontend, Backend, Full Stack, Infrastructure/Cloud, Data, AI/ML, and other Engineering disciplines.
* Ability to adapt sourcing strategies across different talent profiles, with the flexibility to occasionally support non-technical searches while maintaining a primary focus on Engineering.
* Hands-on experience with LinkedIn Recruiter and advanced sourcing techniques, including Boolean search and talent mapping.
* Ability to research and identify companies and Engineering organizations that produce high-caliber technical talent.
* Strong written communication skills and the ability to create personalized, compelling outreach.
* Highly organized and comfortable managing multiple searches and talent pipelines simultaneously.
* Proactive, persistent, and creative approach to finding difficult-to-reach candidates.
* Results-driven mindset with a strong focus on candidate quality and pipeline conversion.

## **Logistics, Perks & Benefits**

* Built for collaboration - **our team works 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 401(k), paid time off, paid parental leave, and all the tools you need to do your best work
