About KODE

We’re coding rebels with a cause. KODE is a health-tech company developed by medical coders for medical coders looking to change the way things are done in the industry. Our company may be young but we’re growing rapidly. That also means we’re not buried in outdated policies and bureaucracies.

Coders play a critical role in healthcare, but have you ever felt like you’re just a cog in the machine? At KODE there are no cogs, there are people. We aren’t looking for a coder to simply fill an open position. We’re looking for a new teammate with a passion for professional coding who wants to join our collective mission to be awesome.

We’re serious about two things: coding and treating you like the professional you are. If this intrigues you, please keep reading.
