Simply put, there’s no better place to accelerate your career. Come join us!

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the team building and scaling our flagship Insurance AI platform: one of the most widely adopted products in the dental AI space and a major driver of company revenue. This is an opportunity to work on a high-impact, enterprise-grade AI solution that’s actively reshaping one of the most outdated sectors of the healthcare ecosystem.

In this role, you’ll help take a proven, product-market-fit platform to the next level. You’ll work across a modern, data-rich stack to automate manual, time-consuming insurance workflows and replace legacy processes with intelligent systems that deliver accuracy, speed, and trust at scale. You’ll partner closely with product, ML, and engineering leaders to evolve architecture, improve performance, and ship features that support some of the largest payers in the industry.

If you’re excited by the idea of building AI that solves real business problems, drives measurable impact, and transforms how an entire industry operates (while working on a product with massive traction and room to grow) this role offers the complexity, ownership, and scale you’re looking for.
