# Data Scientist

- **Company:** Komodo Health
- **Location:** United States (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Salary:** $186,000.0 - $219,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Software Design Documents, Python (Programming Language), SQL Databases
- **Published:** August 1, 2026
- **Apply:** https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/komodohealth/jobs/8661607002

## About the Role

* Graduate training (MS/PhD) in Statistics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent applied experience
 * 5+ years of industry experience applying statistical modeling and estimation to large-scale real-world healthcare data
 * Deep familiarity with US healthcare claims data - the coding ecosystem (ICD, CPT/HCPCS, NDC), how drugs are billed across medical and pharmacy benefits, the distinction between open and closed data sources and its analytical implications, and how common data-generation and processing issues manifest in downstream analytics
 * Experience evaluating model quality when ground truth is limited, with the creativity to design rigorous validation approaches under that constraint
 * Strong diagnostic and critical-thinking skills: able to take an ambiguous question ("this number looks wrong"), form hypotheses, and systematically isolate root cause with minimal oversight
 * Comfort engaging directly with customers on technical topics - listening well, explaining methodology accessibly, and maintaining credibility under scrutiny
 * Working proficiency in SQL and in Python or R for large-scale data analysis and statistical modeling

Additional skills and experience we'd prioritize (nice to have)…

 * Direct experience with projection or extrapolation methodology - estimating population-level volumes from partial samples (e.g., sample-to-national projection, market sizing, weighting and calibration) - is a strong plus
 * Experience with Bayesian statistics and its application to real-world estimation problems
 * Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (coding copilots, agentic workflows) to accelerate analysis, prototyping, and documentation

#LIRemote

The pay range for each job posting reflects a minimum and maximum range of annual base pay that we reasonably expect to pay for this position within the US. We carefully consider multiple business-related factors when determining compensation, including job-related skills, work experience, geographic work location, relevant training and certifications, business needs and market demands.

## Description

* Analyze large-scale Komodo healthcare data using SQL and Python or R to assess projection model inputs, outputs, and behavior across therapeutic areas and geographies
 * Design and run evaluation studies - constructing benchmarks, consistency and uncertainty quantification - and build diagnostic tooling that makes model behavior fast to assess and debug
 * Triage and investigate questions from customers and customer-facing teams; reproduce reported issues, form hypotheses, and isolate root causes through systematic analysis
 * Prepare and deliver clear methodological explanations - briefs, walkthroughs, and direct customer discussions - that translate model mechanics into answers customers can act on
 * Review and contribute to model code, specifications, and design documents in partnership with product engineering; validate changes before and after release
 * Maintain methodology documentation and evaluation reports; track model behavior across data refreshes and releases, flagging emerging issues early
