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.

We are seeking an experienced Senior IT Systems Administrator with deep expertise in Okta to lead our identity and access management strategy and strengthen our IT infrastructure.

  • Integrate Okta with cloud/SaaS applications (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, HRIS, Zoom).
  • 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 

  • 5–10 years of progressive IT systems administration or related experience.
  • Expertise with Okta (or similar IAM platforms); Okta certification strongly preferred.
  • Proven experience designing and maintaining IT ticketing systems (Jira, FreshDesk, Zendesk, or similar).
  • 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)
