About The Position

Kontakt.io is building the platform that care operations run on.

We reduce waste, cut costs, and improve throughput in hospitals by automating and orchestrating clinical workflows. Using AI, real-time location data (RTLS), and deep EHR integration, our platform enables care teams to operate with real-time intelligence and financial discipline.

Talent density will determine whether we win this next phase.

We are hiring a Talent Acquisition Partner to help build the engine.

Why This Role Is Compelling

- You will recruit for high-impact roles across Engineering, Product, and GTM

- You will help define “great” — not just fill pipelines
- You will work in a company where hiring quality matters more than hiring speed
- You will help scale toward a $200M ARR business in a category being transformed by AI

This is not a coordinator role. This is a judgment role.

You will own full-cycle recruiting across technical and GTM roles, including:
- Backend, data, AI/ML, and platform engineers
- Product and technical leadership roles
- Strategic GTM hires

You will pressure-test candidates.
You will protect the company from mediocre hires.
You understand that saying “no” well is often more valuable than saying “yes.”

Responsibilities

• Run structured screening interviews that assess motivation, judgment, and failure modes
• Manage tight interview processes with strong candidate experience
