Staff Software Engineer, Platform (PST/CST only)

We Breathe Life Into Data

At Komodo Health, our mission is to reduce the global burden of disease. And we believe that smarter use of data is essential to this mission. That’s why we built the Healthcare Map — the industry’s largest, most complete, precise view of the U.S. healthcare system — by combining de-identified, real-world patient data with innovative algorithms and decades of clinical experience. The Healthcare Map serves as our foundation for a powerful suite of software applications, helping us answer healthcare’s most complex questions for our partners. Across the healthcare ecosystem, we’re helping our clients unlock critical insights to track detailed patient behaviors and treatment patterns, identify gaps in care, address unmet patient needs, and reduce the global burden of disease. 

As we pursue these goals, it remains essential to us that we stay grounded in our values: be awesome, seek growth, deliver “wow,” and enjoy the ride. At Komodo, you will be joining a team of ambitious, supportive Dragons with diverse backgrounds but a shared passion to deliver on our mission to reduce the burden of disease — and enjoy the journey along the way.

The Komodo platform powers all of Komodo’s current and future workflow analytical applications and enables 3rd party builders to integrate with, extend, customize, or build on the platform.

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Platform team at Komodo Health, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the backbone of our technology. You will be responsible for designing, building, and scaling the foundational services and infrastructure that empower all our engineering teams to innovate rapidly and reliably. This is a high-impact role where you'll leverage your deep technical expertise and leadership skills to drive the evolution of our core platform, directly contributing to Komodo's mission. You will own critical components, influence architectural direction, and mentor fellow engineers, tackling complex challenges that are crucial to our success.

**This is an individual contributor role.

Within the first 12 months, as a Staff Software Engineer on the Platform team, you will have made a significant impact on Komodo Health's technical foundation and engineering capabilities. You will have:

Architected and Delivered Foundational Platform Enhancements:

• Spearheaded the architectural design and led the implementation of at least one major new platform service or critical infrastructure upgrade (e.g., related to data processing, orchestration, API gateways, or core data service frameworks) that demonstrably improves scalability, reliability, or developer velocity for multiple engineering teams.
• Driven the adoption of new technical strategies and frameworks for key platform domains, such as our data infrastructure (enabling robust integrations with services like Snowflake, Databricks, AWS S3) or our core deployment and orchestration pipelines (e.g., leveraging Temporal, Airflow), resulting in streamlined operations and enhanced capabilities.

Elevated Engineering Standards and Operational Excellence:

• Established and championed new engineering best practices, API design standards (including versioning and OpenAPI adoption), or architectural patterns across the Platform domain and influenced their adoption more broadly within Engineering, measurably improving code quality, system observability, and documentation.
• Led initiatives to significantly enhance our automated testing frameworks, CI/CD processes, and operational monitoring for critical platform services, directly contributing to higher standards of reliability and faster, safer deployments.
