CODING EDITOR *100% REMOTE* Exclusive opportunity for a Coding Editor – KODE is granting company ownership for new hires!

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 That also means we’re not buried in outdated policies and bureaucracies.
