About the role
About Kontakt.io http://Kontakt.io
Every day, intelligent software orchestrates the physical world around us – from matching drivers with riders to optimizing global supply chains. Yet inside hospitals, where every second and every decision can affect a patient's life, operations are still spread across dozens of disconnected systems.
At Kontakt.io http://Kontakt.io, we're changing that. By combining proprietary hardware, AI-powered intelligence, and deep integrations with the systems hospitals already rely on, we're creating a real-time understanding of hospital operations that software alone can't deliver. That intelligence powers the execution layer hospitals have been missing – helping care teams 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're pioneering the next generation of healthcare operations. We've more than doubled our revenue over the past year and are on track to surpass $70M in annual recurring revenue – not because we're following a market, but because we're defining one.
If you're excited to solve hard problems, work with a team of builders, and help hospitals deliver better care every day, we'd love to meet you!
We're looking for a Customer Technical Solution Engineer who is comfortable in that environment. Someone who has worked hands-on with enterprise network infrastructure, understands how BLE and IoT systems behave on top of it, and knows how to guide a hospital IT team through a configuration issue over a call — or travel on-site when needed. You'll own customer issues end-to-end, support live deployments in the field, and be the technical backbone of our Professional Services team when they're on-site.
This is not an internal IT helpdesk role. Our customers are enterprise B2B — hospital CIOs, biomedical engineers, network administrators — and they expect a peer-level conversation.
What you will be working on
Customer technical ownership Be the go-to technical contact for your assigned customers. Understand their environments, anticipate issues, and communicate with confidence at both the IT admin and stakeholder level.
Network & infrastructure troubleshooting Diagnose failures rooted in network configuration — VLANs, DHCP, DNS, firewall rules, wireless infrastructure, IoT gateway behavior. Work directly with hospital IT teams to resolve issues in their environments.
Deployment & field support When our Professional Services team is on-site deploying at a customer location, you're their remote technical backbone — troubleshooting configuration issues, network problems, and device behavior in real time so installations stay on track and go-lives happen on time. Occasionally, you'll be on-site yourself.
Knowledge & continuous improvement Turn solved problems into reusable knowledge — runbooks, articles, escalation templates. Use AI tools to work faster, document better, and spot patterns before they become recurring issues.
Engineering collaboration Escalate with precision — crisp repro steps, network diagrams, log captures. Drive issues to verified closure and feed environment insights back to product and engineering.
