About The Position

TDO Software builds practice management solutions for dental practices, with a strong footprint in endodontics. We’re investing heavily in AI to improve both our internal operations and the products we deliver to our users. TDO Software is part of Fluent Software Group (a Valsoft Corporation operating group), a global acquirer and operator of vertical market software businesses. We focus on specialized industries where expertise creates lasting advantages. We’re builders, not holders. When we partner with a company, we bring operators and resources to actively scale it — not just sustain it. That means you’ll work in an environment that moves with urgency, embraces new ways of operating, and genuinely invests in what comes next to take businesses further. We’re looking for an Experienced AI Development Lead to help us build and ship AI-powered features across our platform. This is a hands-on builder role with ownership. You’ll work directly on implementing AI solutions while helping shape how AI fits into our products and workflows. Not entry-level, but also not purely strategic. We need someone who can execute and grow with us.
