About The Position

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry—an industry worth over $400B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, we’re on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world—empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients. In the past 3 years, Dandy has built the leading digital-first custom dental appliance manufacturer. As we move to the next level of scale, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to build the foundation of our ML Platform. You will be the bridge between SoTA Computer Vision research and production-grade reliability. You will design and scale the infrastructure that handles massive 3D datasets, orchestrates complex training pipelines, and ensures our generative models are deployed with high reliability.
