Job Description

**Who we are**
- -------------

Pario is a venture-backed pre-seed technology company with a mission to improve maternal and fetal healthcare outcomes in the US, which are currently the worst in the developed world.

We're building an electronic health/medical record (EHR/EMR) system tailored to the workflows of obstetricians, gynecologists, and midwives. Our vision is to empower women's healthcare providers to spend less time on admin and more time on patient care with elegant, simple, more intuitive software.

You will own large parts of the codebase, have autonomy to make technical decisions, and have significant impact on the final product.

You'll learn a lot, ship product, and make a difference in one of the most important events in someone's life.
