Here’s what you need to know about the role, our team and why Flatiron Health is the right next step in your career.

• Be part of a team with skillful professional software engineers
• Deploy real production code
• Learn agile methodologies and tools for organizing software development
• Use testing to ensure code correctness and quality
• Work with product managers, scientists, doctors, designers, and QA teams to make sure we’re building the best products
