Staff / Principal Software Engineer

Overjet•San Mateo, CA

10d•Hybrid

About The Position

Overjet builds AI systems used by thousands of dental providers and insurers to analyze radiographs and support clinical and insurance decisions. The platform is trained on millions of annotated radiographs and FDA-cleared to detect and outline disease and anatomy, including decay, bone levels, and periapical lesions directly on dental X-rays. Behind that product is a distributed ML platform: model training systems, large-scale imaging pipelines, and real-time inference delivered directly into clinical and insurance workflows. We’re hiring the engineer who will help define how that platform grows. You’ll own the architecture of the system powering Overjet’s ML platform, from how models are trained and versioned to how predictions reach providers and insurers in real time. This role sits at the intersection of ML and engineering. You’ll work directly with ML scientists, infrastructure engineers, and product teams to move models from research into production and deliver results to providers and insurers in real time. This is a Staff / Principal-level role. You’ll set technical direction, make architectural decisions, and raise the engineering bar across the platform.
