About the role

  • Translate complex clinical and operational use cases into structured AI solutions that are reliable, safe, and production-ready
  • Partner closely with Product and Operations to identify where AI can reduce friction, automate manual steps, and improve patient outcomes
  • Evaluate emerging Claude capabilities and advocate for their adoption when they meaningfully advance our product roadmap
  • Build and maintain backend services and APIs that support our studio-facing and patient-facing products
  • Develop integrations with external systems — including our dental management platforms, scheduling tools, and communication infrastructure
  • Write clean, well-tested code with a focus on performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, deployment practices, and cloud-native architecture on AWS
  • Work cross-functionally with engineers, product managers, and clinical operations teams throughout the product lifecycle
  • Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and sprint ceremonies in an agile environment
  • Help document AI implementations clearly so teammates can understand, iterate on, and extend your work
  • Stay close to how our studio teams and members use our tools — feedback from the field shapes what we build

Requirements

  • Comfort working in cloud-native environments — AWS is preferred (Lambda, S3, EC2 or similar)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern development practices
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can explain what you built and why
  • Ability to travel to Nashville, TN one to two times per month (if remote)

  • 🩺 Health Comes First – Medical, dental, and vision insurance — plus our own Dental Wellness Program
  • 🌴 Time to Recharge – Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and company holidays — because rest is productive
