About The Position

At Komodo Health, our mission is to reduce the global burden of disease. We believe that smarter use of data is essential to this mission, which is why we built the Healthcare Map — the industry’s largest, most complete, precise view of the U.S. healthcare system. This map combines de-identified, real-world patient data with innovative algorithms and decades of clinical experience, serving as the foundation for a powerful suite of software applications. These applications help answer healthcare’s most complex questions for partners across the ecosystem, enabling them to unlock critical insights, track patient behaviors and treatment patterns, identify gaps in care, address unmet patient needs, and ultimately reduce the global burden of disease. Komodo Health values include being awesome, seeking growth, delivering “wow,” and enjoying the ride, fostering a team of ambitious, supportive individuals passionate about their mission. The Infrastructure, SRE & Security team forms the foundation of Komodo's AI platform, owning the cloud, data, and security infrastructure that enables Product and Engineering to deliver with velocity and confidence. This includes AI agent runtimes, platform services, customer-facing SaaS products, and the data pipelines powering the Healthcare Map. Komodo Health is seeking a hands-on Head of Infrastructure, SRE & Security to lead a centralized, transversal team during its transformation into an AI-native platform company. This role will encompass four key domains: Cloud Infrastructure, Data Infrastructure, Security Engineering, and Platform/Shared Services, requiring close partnership with AI Engineering, Platform Engineering, and Product leadership. The goal is to build the infrastructure necessary for Komodo to become a 100% AI company.
