[Hiring] Staff Software Engineer @Overjet

Role Description

Lead the Future of Dentistry. Overjet is the world-leader in dental AI. Already, thousands of dental providers and insurers rely on our platform to deliver the best possible care. Now, we’re looking for talented people to fulfill our mission: improve oral health for all.

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

The Mission and the Hard Part:

• Our AI only helps a practice or an insurer if the software underneath it is reliable.
• A Staff Engineer is the person who keeps that from happening, making everyone around them better at building software that doesn’t break.
• You’ll work across Engineering, Product, and our AI team to set the technical standard for the systems you touch.
• You’ll take on ambiguous, high-stakes technical problems, make design calls, and own what happens when your systems run in production.

What You’ll Own:

• The design and delivery of the backend systems you build.
• A culture of incident-free deployments.
• A framework for safe, low-touch rollouts.
• Repeatable, standardized processes that can be handed to automation.
• The technical bar for your team.
• Production operations for what you ship.

What Makes the Right Candidate Keep Reading:

• You’ve spent a decade building and running production systems.
• You go deep on databases, concurrency, and event-driven design.
• You chase problems to the root rather than waiting for them to be assigned.
• You hold a high standard when no one is watching.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field preferred; equivalent experience welcome.

Requirements

• Strong Python with a focus on clean architecture.
• Extensive experience with concurrency and event-driven architecture.
• Extensive SQL and Postgres experience.
• Docker and Kubernetes.
• Data modeling and database design.
• Cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure) with infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform.
• A plus: C# and Windows systems, MCP and process automation, and knowledge of data security and compliance standards (such as HIPAA) or experience with sensitive patient data or electronic health records.
• 10+ years of software engineering, including experience designing, building, and operating production backend systems.

Benefits

• Excellence: Aim Higher.
• Velocity: Quickly Deliver Results.
• Ownership: Go the Extra Mile.
• Win-win: Care Deeply.
