About Icarus Medical
Icarus Medical is a fast-growing medical technology company focused on improving quality of life for people with joint pain and mobility limitations. We combine advanced biomechanics, digital design, additive manufacturing, and clinical innovation to create highly personalized orthopedic solutions.
As we continue to grow, software is becoming increasingly central to nearly every part of our business—from patient scanning and automated brace design to order management, manufacturing, customer service, and integrations with external platforms.
We are looking for a versatile and experienced Full-Stack Software Developer to help build and support the systems that power our organization.
About the Role
The Full-Stack Software Developer will join a small, fast-moving development team and take meaningful ownership of Icarus Medical’s internal software platforms.
Your primary responsibility will be maintaining and enhancing our custom-built order management system and application programming interface. You will also contribute to a wide variety of projects involving database administration, third-party integrations, infrastructure, mobile development, automated product design, and emerging artificial intelligence applications.
This is an ideal role for a well-rounded developer who enjoys solving practical business problems, working across multiple technologies, and seeing their work directly affect patients, clinicians, employees, and company growth.
Because our development team is intentionally lean, this position offers significant autonomy and the opportunity to influence both technical decisions and the long-term direction of Icarus Medical’s software systems.
What You Will Do
- Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve Icarus Medical’s custom order management platform (ERP) and API.
- Design and implement new features that improve operational efficiency and support company growth.

- Develop secure, reliable APIs connecting internal and external applications.

- Assist with server administration, application deployment, system monitoring, scaling, redundancy, and disaster recovery.
- Develop new functionality for Icarus Medical’s iOS-based 3D scanning application.
- Execute on technical Salesforce feature buildouts as needed
- Support the continued development of software that automates the design of custom orthopedic devices.
- Diagnose and resolve technical issues across the full application stack.
- Collaborate with engineering, operations, manufacturing, sales, and clinical teams to translate business needs into effective technical solutions.
- Document systems, architecture, integrations, and development processes.
- Help establish scalable software development practices as the company and development team grow.
- Evaluate and implement new technologies when they can meaningfully improve our products or operations. Work with management to automate processes across the organization to alleviate operational bottlenecks using software and AI-based solutions
