Job Description

In April 2025, Kandu Health and Neurolutions merged to form Kandu Inc. to pioneer an integrated approach to stroke recovery, combining FDA-cleared brain-computer interface technology with personalized telehealth services. The company’s IpsiHand® device is durable medical equipment that enables chronic stroke survivors to regain upper extremity function in daily home use. Combining this  advanced technology with the support of expert clinicians offers a comprehensive path to recovery– helping survivors improve mobility, independence, and quality of life. Kandu extends recovery beyond the hospital through principal illness navigation, providing one-on-one education, care coordination, and advocacy; grounded in clinical evidence and informed by the lived experiences of patients and their families.

  • Oversee access reviews, system audits, and security monitoring.
  • Drive IT projects related to automation, infrastructure upgrades, and new technology rollouts.
  • Serve as an escalation point for complex IT issues, ensuring minimal disruption to operations.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to junior IT staff (as the team scales).
  • Collaborate with Security and People Ops to improve lifecycle management and data protection practices.

What You’ll Bring

  • Expertise with Okta (or similar IAM platforms); Okta certification strongly preferred.

  • Strong understanding of security best practices and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA).
  • Hands-on experience with SaaS integrations, Rippling MDM, and endpoint management.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across hardware, software, and networking.
  • Excellent documentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Scripting and automation experience (PowerShell, Python, or similar).
  • Experience in fast-paced, high-growth, or startup environments.
  • Familiarity with networking fundamentals (VPN, DNS, firewalls).
  • Ability to balance strategic projects with day-to-day IT operations.

What We Offer 

  • Competitive Compensation ($120,000 - $140,000)
