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
This position is an opportunity to develop and innovate for a set of foundational microservices that undergird the Komodo Health application platform.
The Core Services team is tasked with providing authentication (RBAC), data authorization, and subscription management to enforce tenant configurations for all applications. Core Services develops the orchestration system, running fault-tolerant workflows that power key platform capabilities. As such, this team develops functionality that is critical to a secure and performant experience with our products.
While this role is backend-focused, collaboration with cross-functional teams is a key aspect of the position. You will work closely with frontend developers, system architects, security experts, data engineers, and product owners to ensure our services meet the highest standards of usability, performance, security, and scalability.
Looking back on your first 12 months at Komodo Health, you will have…
- Spearheaded functionality in tenancy and configuration management with new features, enhancements to existing features, and optimizations for subscriptions and tenant configurations.
- Designed and implemented optimizations to the RBAC system, enhancing the precision and efficiency of access controls.
- Enhanced the orchestration service control plane for tenanted workflow management.
- Implemented key functionality in the platform messages and metrics system.
You will accomplish these outcomes through the following responsibilities…
- Promote API versioning best practices and open API standards in development.
- Partner with product managers to understand the diverse needs that customers have and the use cases being solved for by other teams.
- Ensure non-functional requirements are met, such as around developer experience and maintainability.
- Manage tasks at an epic level to both raise the standard of engineering and continue to move new & existing functionality to meaningful mini/micro-services.
- Set a high technical standard overall and be a mentoring resource for others on the team.
- Deliver core platform functionality that can act as a multiplier for the development of new product features.
What you bring to Komodo Health (required):
- Demonstrably deep experience with Python, particularly with backend development and the FastAPI framework.
- Experience designing APIs for use in web application development (synchronous vs asynchronous response patterns, caching strategies, etc)
- Strong understanding and hands-on experience with Kubernetes for container orchestration, enabling seamless deployment and scaling of backend services.
- Competence in using Helm for managing Kubernetes applications, and streamlining the deployment and versioning of authentication service components.
- Experience with developing performant GraphQL APIs.
- Familiarity with and understanding of multiple data storage platforms (e.g., relational databases, data lakes, key-value/document stores) and the ability to select the most suitable for specific read patterns.
- Strong communication with engineers, product managers, data scientists and commercial teams.
Additional skills and experience we’d prioritize (nice to have)…
- Familiarity with Temporal workflow orchestration.
- Understand and design for non-functional concerns such as performance, cost optimization, maintainability, and developer experience.
