About Iron Health 
Iron Health is on a mission to close the gaps in women’s healthcare and give all women the kind of care they deserve. Through our tech-enabled platform and our network of multidisciplinary providers, we partner with OB/GYNs to extend the latitude of care they can offer and enable a whole-person experience for patients. We support women in all phases of life, extending care beyond the doctor’s office and enabling better outcomes and experiences for everyone. We know that many women rely on their OB/GYNs for primary care and behavioral health services, and we also know that many OB/GYNs are overwhelmed by their workload. Founded at Redesign Health with additional investment from the March of Dimes Innovation fund, Iron Health aims to create a world where equitable, quality healthcare of body and mind is accessible for all women.

What you will need:
* 6+ years experience with full-stack software development in an agile environment
* A successful track record of delivering and maintaining reliable, scalable, traceable, and performant distributed systems to customers in a production cloud environment
* Experience building infrastructure as code (CDK/CloudFormation/Terraform) and good understanding of AWS (or similar cloud) services and networking constructs
* Experience with data modeling and design schemas for application databases and data warehouses
* Experience with serverless, event-driven architectures (lambda functions, queues, streams, etc.)
* Experience working with EHR systems and/or with healthcare data that has given you an understanding of regulatory and compliance requirements

Be our best: We do what we say we'll do when we say we'll do it— no finger-pointing, no excuses, just our very best work every single day.
Foster the safe space: We value diverse perspectives, cultivate inclusive collaboration, and welcome creative dissent.
Enjoy the ride, together: We individually succeed when the team succeeds.
