Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry—an industry worth over $200B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, we’re on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world—empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients.
About the Team
The Platform team builds the core systems and tools that power all of Dandy Engineering. We’re responsible for infrastructure, developer experience, CI/CD, observability, shared backend services (like authentication, event streaming, and async workers), and security foundations.
Our mission is to make it easy for every Dandy engineer to build, ship, and operate software quickly and securely. We're scaling the platform to support a fast-growing engineering organization—improving developer velocity, building secure-by-default foundations, and driving adoption of best-in-class tools and automations across the stack. From selecting critical infrastructure to building internal abstractions and enforcing security through automation, this team plays a central role in Dandy’s ability to move fast with confidence.

Partner with engineering leadership to define how we adopt and operationalize AI coding assistants (e.g., Cursor, Devin) to accelerate prototyping, refactoring, and workflow automation
Establish application security foundations through tool selection, workflow automation, issue remediation, and sharing secure development practices
Work cross-functionally with Product, Security, and Engineering teams to align platform investments with business needs
Establish and uphold best practices around reliability, scalability, and operational excellence
Recruit, mentor and develop engineers, helping grow technical leaders within the team
What We’re Looking For
3+ years experience as an engineering manager and 5+ years as a software engineer
Proven success leading platform, infrastructure, or developer tools teams in high-growth environments
Experience designing and scaling developer platforms, CI/CD systems, or internal frameworks
Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), observability, and devops automation
Passion for improving developer experience and reducing friction in engineering workflows
Strategic thinking around how to incorporate emerging tools like AI coding assistants to improve productivity
Excellent collaboration and communication skills across functions
Bias for action and a pragmatic mindset when making technical trade-offs
