Lead Production Support Engineer

Konovo is a global healthcare intelligence company on a mission to transform research through technology—enabling faster, better, connected insights.

Konovo provides healthcare organizations with access to over 2 million healthcare professionals, the largest network of its kind globally. With a workforce of over 200 employees across 5 countries—India, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and the United States—we support some of the most prominent names in healthcare.

Our Whitefield-based India team is our innovation hub and center of excellence for building scalable platforms, AI-enabled capabilities, and next-generation healthcare technology.
