Description
At Komodo Health, our mission is to reduce the global burden of disease through smarter use of data.
Join Komodo Health's Data Foundations team as a Senior Data Platform Engineer and play a critical role in shaping the core data products that fuel our Healthcare Map.
The Opportunity at Komodo Health: As a Senior Data Engineer, you will design, build, operate, and improve large-scale data pipelines and foundational data products that power Komodo’s Healthcare Map, analytics products, and downstream AI/ML-enabled use cases.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build, operate, and optimize large-scale production data pipelines using Python, SQL, Airflow, cloud infrastructure, and distributed processing frameworks.
- Transform massive healthcare claims, EHR, and reference datasets into trusted, performant Healthcare Map data products and serving-ready data assets.
- Strengthen pipeline reliability through data quality checks, validation, lineage, observability, monitoring, and alerting.
- Debug complex data, system, and performance issues across computationally intensive workflows.
- Partner with Data Product Quality, Product, Platform, and Engineering teams to translate healthcare data needs into scalable technical solutions.
- Contribute to system design, architecture, code quality, testing, documentation, CI/CD, and rotational production support.
- Enable downstream analytics, product, and AI/ML use cases through high-quality, well-modeled, reliable data.
What you bring to Komodo Health:
- Healthcare data experience across claims, clinical, RWE, provider, patient, or life sciences datasets, including coding systems such as ICD-10, CPT, NDC, or NPI.
- Strong hands-on experience building, operating, and debugging production-grade data pipelines at scale.
- Advanced Python and SQL skills, with experience in Airflow or similar workflow orchestration tools.
- Experience with Spark or comparable distributed data processing frameworks.
- Proven experience designing and operating data solutions in AWS.
- Strong instincts for data quality, reliability, root-cause analysis, and production troubleshooting.
- Ability to communicate technical trade-offs clearly and collaborate with engineering, product, and data partners.
- Comfort using AI-assisted engineering tools for productivity, debugging, documentation, and technical exploration.
Additional skills and experience we’d prioritize (nice to have):
- Experience delivering external-facing data products through customers, APIs, serving layers, or production access patterns.
- Ability to optimize high-scale data architectures for performance, cost, versioning, and large-volume productization.
- Experience applying AI or agentic workflows to engineering, data quality, delivery, or operations.
- Success in high-growth or ambiguous environments that require balancing architecture, speed, and quality.
