Role
Who you are
- Significant experience designing APIs for use in web application development (synchronous vs asynchronous response patterns, caching strategies, graphql, etc)
- Significant experience optimizing data retrieval processes supporting API output, as above, ideally within a low query volume / high data volume environment
- Demonstrably deep experience with Python
- Demonstrably deep experience with relevant ‘big data’ processing either via Spark or through a modern MPP database like Snowflake, ideally with experience in both
- Experience with separate caching/cache invalidation strategies, particularly tiered strategies for highly variable unit volumes of data
- Experience with multiple relevant data storage platforms, and the ability to understand the benefits of drawbacks of each for specific types of read patterns (‘data lakes’ like S3/Hive-based systems, RDBMS, MPP platforms, KV/doc stores, etc)
- Understand and design for non-functional concerns such as performance, cost optimization, maintainability and developer experience
- Strong communication with engineers, product managers, and salespeople
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer on Komodo Health’s Platform Analytics team, you will be focusing on our internal service layer used to serve a variety of axes - patients, payers, providers, etc
- You will enable complex queries supported through backend APIs, adhere to SLAs, and the underlying caching necessary to support multiple access patterns
- By exposing the power of Komodo’s data directly to consumers, and leveraging innovative caching techniques to create drillable, pivotable visualizations, you will help create a state-of-the-art interactive experience for internal and external users alike
- Looking back on your first 12 months at Komodo Health, you will have:
- Expanded or enhanced the Platform Analytic APIs
- Designed and optimized caching strategies (including, perhaps, inclusion of new data storage mediums/platforms) for processing cohort outputs and running analytics
- Recommended and implemented additional pre-calculation and caching strategies as needed to ensure that SLAs are met
- Promoted API versioning best practices and open API standards in development
- Leveraged relevant AWS services (API gateway, lambdas, among others), updating as needed to take advantage of new beneficial features in support of the API
- Partnered with product managers to understand the variety of internal and external analytic specification needs across a diverse set of use cases
- Ensured non-functional requirements are met, such as around developer experience and maintainability
- Managed technical dependencies between different microservices to ensure smooth operations
- Set a high technical standard overall and be a mentoring resource for others on the team and in the larger organization
Our take
Komodo Health's Healthcare Map tracks the healthcare journeys of over 330M patients, giving providers, pharma companies, and researchers the tools to identify opportunities for care, track treatment outcomes, and uncover patterns in patient and drug behavior.
The platform tackles the fragmentation of healthcare, helping organizations act on reliable, real-world intelligence instead of incomplete or siloed date.
The company's been making some big moves recently too, with the launch of its healthcare-native AI engine Marmot™ and partnering with Anervea.ai to bring Ai directly into clinical development. With these innovations and strategic partnerships, Komodo is in a really good spot to lead the future of AI-driven healthcare intelligence.
