Senior Software Engineer, Platform Search

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 Opportunity at Komodo Health

Komodo aims to build the most accessible, actionable collection of healthcare data in the industry.  

Team: As we are maturing, we are investing in our user experience to create rich and intuitive web interfaces to bring users closer to our data. Our diverse clients have a range of familiarity with healthcare technicalities and we strive to provide a dynamic interface designed to be simple enough for a layperson while also allowing power users to explore our data with all the depth and sophistication they require. 

Mission: In this role, you will focus on building a universal healthcare map search for Komodo, enhancing user asset searching and discoverability, and developing semantic and syntax-based search for Komodo applications. You will independently design and develop proofs of concept (PoCs) to validate ideas and solutions, demonstrating their feasibility and value. Additionally, you will collaborate with multiple stakeholders, including product managers, designers, and engineering teams, to ensure successful project execution and delivery.

Looking back on your first 12 months at Komodo Health, you will have…

• Built the foundation for Universal Map Search by designing and implementing scalable geospatial indexing and retrieval systems, enabling seamless healthcare data search and visualization.
• Developed and maintained Search SDKs to empower both internal teams and external High Code users with efficient, reusable search capabilities.
• Designed and implemented Syntax Search to provide an enriched, structured query experience within Komodo applications, enhancing precision and usability.
• Developed and maintained the data infrastructure for Semantic Search, leveraging machine learning and knowledge graphs to enable deeper contextual understanding and discovery.
• Discovered new modalities of data connections to enhance Komodo’s Platform Search, integrating diverse datasets to surface novel insights and improve search efficacy.
• Collaborated effectively with multiple teams, ensuring seamless integration of search capabilities across Komodo’s products and data ecosystems.
• Demonstrated expertise in AWS infrastructure by leveraging services like Lambda, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Snowflake, Temporal, and Graph databases (Neptune/Neo4j) to optimize search performance and scalability.

You will accomplish these outcomes through the following responsibilities…

• Develop scalable search systems that efficiently handle growing volumes of healthcare data and user queries, supporting Universal Map Search and broader Platform Search capabilities.
• Build and maintain the data infrastructure for Semantic Search, enabling intelligent, context-aware discovery of healthcare data.
• Implement and refine Syntax Search, allowing structured query experiences that enhance user control and search precision.
• Improve code efficiency to enhance performance, accuracy, and resource utilization.
• Manage technical dependencies across engineering teams, ensuring seamless integration and alignment of search technologies within Komodo’s ecosystem.
• Establish and uphold high technical standards, setting best practices for search infrastructure and search-powered applications.
• Influence the overall software architecture by driving innovation and scalability in search and data infrastructure at Komodo.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a collaborative, knowledge-sharing c
