About Curve Dental:

Build the Intelligence Layer for Modern Dentistry

Curve Dental is the leading cloud-based dental practice management platform, helping thousands of dental practices streamline operations, improve patient experiences, and grow their businesses.

We’re entering the next phase of the Curve platform.  We believe the future of dental software isn’t simply AI-powered, it is AI-enabled.  Curve is building a shared intelligence platform that brings agentic AI into every aspect of the dental practice.  From revenue cycle management and patient communications to scheduling, clinical documentation, insurance workflows, and operational automation, our goal is to create intelligent systems that help practices operate more efficiently while allowing dental teams to focus on delivering exceptional patient care.

To help bring this vision to life, we’re looking for an AI Platform Software Developer to join our team.  Working alongside a highly experienced architecture team, you’ll bring deep expertise in agentic AI, machine learning, and intelligent systems while helping shape how AI is applied across the Curve platform.

This is a hands-on development role where you’ll collaborate on architectural decisions, build production AI capabilities, and help establish the development patterns and practices that enable intelligent applications across our products.  

We move quickly, collaborate closely, and take ownership.  Whether you’re designing a new platform capability, reviewing code, troubleshooting a production issue, or helping another team solve a difficult technical challenge, you’ll be expected to jump in where needed and help deliver the best possible product.

This is an opportunity to help build the AI foundation that will power the next generation of dental software. 

What You’ll Do

As an AI Platform Software Developer, you’ll work alongside our Architecture, Development and Product teams to help define and deliver the next generation of intelligent capabilities across the Curve platform.

This is a hands-on engineering role.  You’ll spend the majority of your time designing, building, reviewing, and delivering production software while helping guide the technical direction of AI across the organization.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Partnering with the Architecture team to evolve Curve’s AI platform and establish development standards, reusable frameworks, and development patterns that enable teams to build intelligent applications at scale. 
• Collaborating on the technical design, development, testing, and delivery of production services, agentic workflows, MCP servers, machine learning capabilities, and shared platform components.
• Writing high-quality production code while leveraging modern AI-assisted development tools, including Claude Code, to improve engineering productivity and software quality.
• Working side-by-side with developers, product managers, and UX designers to transform business requirements into secure, scalable, maintainable production software
• Performing technical design reviews, performing code reviews, mentoring developers, and contributing hands-on throughout the entire software development lifecycle
• Solving complex development challenges involving distributed systems, intelligent workflows, APIs, cloud-native services, and modern AI technologies
• Continuously evaluating emerging AI technologies, frameworks, and development practices, bringing practical ideas that improve both our products and the way we build them
• Partnering with internal development teams and external partners to build, extend, and continuously evolve Curve’s AI platform
• Taking ownership of production software by helping troubleshoot complex issues, improving reliability, and ensuring our AI capabilities meet the high standards our customers expect
