Job Description
**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](https://www.komodohealth.com/technology/healthcare-map?hsLang=en) — 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.

- Produced publication-ready deliverables meeting industry standards for external clients.
- Presented interim and final results to cross-functional stakeholders, incorporating feedback to refine analyses.
- Designed and implemented standardized programming modules to enhance research reproducibility and analytical efficiency across projects.
**You will accomplish these outcomes through the following responsibilities…**

- Experience with Git version control and command-line workflows.
- Hands-on experience with administrative claims, EHR, or equivalent RWD. Familiarity with healthcare data models and U.S. medical coding systems (ICD-10, CPT, NDC).
- Experience collaborating with epidemiologists/SMEs to execute research studies, with a solid understanding of epidemiological principles.
- Proven ability to implement statistical analysis (descriptive analytics, regression, hypothesis testing, and visualization).
- Adaptability to learn new tools and methods in fast-paced environments; ability to manage concurrent projects with competing deadlines.
**Additional skills and experience we’d prioritize (nice to have)…**
- Advanced SQL skills (dbt, query optimization).
- Experience with advanced observational study designs.
- Extensive HEOR/RWE expertise on treatment pattern analysis, LoT, HCRU/cost analysis, synthetic control arm and patient outcome research.
