Staff / Principal Software Engineer

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.

Overjet is where builders become leaders. Everyone here loves to make new things: new products, new partnerships, new content, and a new category of AI technology. And as Overjet grows ridiculously fast, so will you.

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

The Role

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.

Responsibilities or What You’ll Work On

• Platform services supporting the full ML model lifecycle: training pipelines, versioning, rollout safety, and auditability

• Distributed inference systems that analyze radiographs at scale and deliver model predictions inside live clinical and insurance workflows

• Reliability, latency, and observability for model-backed APIs operating under clinical workflow constraints

• Infrastructure that supports multiple model generations in a regulated environment where bad rollouts have real consequences

• Engineering standards and technical direction across the ML platform

Right away, you can expect to work on things like:

• Map the current platform architecture and identify the biggest risks and opportunities

• Ship meaningful improvements to core inference or platform infrastructure

• Propose and begin executing on high-leverage architectural changes

• Raise the technical bar for the engineers around you

Qualifications or What We're Looking For
We care more about the systems you've built than a checklist of technologies.

Strong candidates typically have:

• Built or owned ML platform or backend systems serving real production workloads

• Designed distributed systems and APIs used by other engineers or products

• Operated infrastructure in cloud environments with high reliability requirements

• Shipped systems supporting machine learning or data-intensive workloads

• Led technical direction for teams of senior engineers

Languages and tools matter less than the ability to design and evolve complex systems.

Why This Role Exists
Overjet’s models are embedded in live clinical and insurance workflows. They have to keep getting better without breaking the systems that depend on them, in a regulated environment, at scale, across multiple model generations.
