Dandy is transforming the massive ($200B) but antiquated dental industry. Backed by some of the world's leading venture capital investors, we are on an ambitious mission to integrate and simplify every function of the dental practice through technology. By building the operating system for every dental office in America, Dandy is empowering dentists with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practice, their people, and their patients.

About the Role

Dandy is hiring a Staff Software Engineer to join our rapidly scaling technology organization. You'll be challenged to learn new technologies, given the freedom and ownership to solve large, ambiguous problems, and drive significant technical advancements across engineering and product.

As a Staff Engineer on the Practice Admin team, you will play a key role in driving our practice-facing experiences forward and be a significant contributor in shaping our technical and product strategies.

Our stack: TypeScript, NodeJS, NestJS, React/Redux, PostgreSQL, GCP

  • Advocate for improvements to product quality, security, and performance that have a particular impact across your team and others.

  • Actively seek out difficult impediments to our efficiency as a team ("technical debt"), propose and implement solutions that will enable the entire team to iterate faster

  • Provide mentorship for all Engineers on your team to help them grow in their technical responsibilities and remove blockers to their autonomy.

  • Comfort working in a highly agile, intensely iterative software development process.

  • Effective communication skills: Regularly achieve consensus with peers and clear status updates.

  • Experience owning a project from concept to production, including proposal, discussion, and execution.

  • Self-motivated and self-managing, with excellent organizational skills.
