Staff Software Engineer - Platform Services

Staff Software Engineer

Join our Platform Services team, focused on the Dentistry SaaS space. You'll help build, operate, and maintain strategic software projects of varying scope and complexity. Your work will directly support key business objectives while creating patterns and references for other teams.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you'll perform advanced programming and technical design to enhance and maintain new or existing software products. You'll apply deep domain and framework knowledge to deliver high-impact solutions that support business goals. You'll collaborate across teams on both small and large high-priority projects, requiring quick delivery followed by high-value improvements. Your focus will remain on the organization's most critical objectives, which may evolve over time. You'll balance shifting priorities through flexibility and task-switching while maintaining consistent output and quality. While goals are defined at a higher level, you'll be responsible for breaking them down into actionable work aligned with business objectives. You'll define your own operations and maintenance efforts and integrate them into the overall schedule, and focus on frequent, incremental delivery of value without compromising code quality.
