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
Healthcare in the U.S. is a mess. Komodo Health is fixing that—with data. We've mapped the patient journey across more than 330 million Americans to build the most complete picture of disease burden and treatment patterns in existence. Our customers—pharma companies, payers, and health systems—use this data to make decisions that materially improve patient outcomes.
Komodo's Labs team builds Marmot—our AI-native product, powered by an MCP Gateway architecture that connects our data platform to the tools customers need. The Forward Deployed Engineering team is where Marmot meets the real world. We take what Labs builds and deploy it at scale inside the most complex enterprise environments in healthcare: customer infrastructure, strict compliance requirements, and integrations that vary with every engagement.
We sit at the intersection of Engineering and Revenue: we build, we deploy, and we own the outcome in production. We are a small team with an outsized footprint. You’ll work on some of our most complex and visible customer deployments.
Mission of the role
As a Senior AI Engineer, Forward Deployed, you will own end-to-end delivery for some of our most technically demanding customer engagements — from solution architecture through deployment inside a customer’s own cloud, data infrastructure, and compliance environment.
This is a deeply technical engineering role with direct customer context. You will write production code, design cloud-native deployment patterns, build integrations, develop MCP servers that extend the Komodo platform into a customer’s stack, and debug issues in environments you do not fully control.
You will be trusted to own complex work from start to finish: translating customer requirements into scalable, product-adjacent solutions, communicating clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and making sure customers and internal partners always know where things stand.
You will see your work land. Engineers on this team ship real solutions under real constraints — and watch them run in production.
How we work
The Forward Deployed Engineering team operates with a clear principle: own your work end to end. Solutions should be designed to minimize unnecessary cross-team dependencies and give engineers the autonomy to move quickly, make decisions, and ship.
That autonomy comes with real technical judgment. Engineers on this team are constantly balancing speed and rigor — moving fast enough to prove customer value while building solutions strong enough to run in production. Engagements can range from single-tenant deployments inside a pharma company’s private cloud, governed by strict data segregation and compliance requirements, to real-time agentic workflows processing data at scale.
This role is best suited for someone who enjoys ambiguity, takes initiative, and is energized by solving complex problems in close partnership with customers.

A Note On Travel:
This role does not require regular travel. That said, some high-complexity deployments may benefit from occasional on-site customer engagement. When those moments arise, being in the room can make a meaningful difference — helping build trust, strengthen relationships, and turn a customer engagement into a long-term partnership.
