About Curve Dental:

Build the Next Generation of AI-Enabled Dental Software

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 Software Developer to join our team.  Working alongside our AI Platform Software Developer, Architecture team, and highly skilled development teams,  you’ll help design, build, and deliver production AI capabilities that power intelligent workflows throughout the Curve platform. 

This is a hands-on development role.  You’ll spend the majority of your time, designing, building, testing, reviewing, and delivering production software while helping bring intelligent agents, machine learning models, and AI-powered workflows into the hands of thousands of customers.  

We move quickly, collaborate closely, and take ownership.  Whether you’re building  a new intelligent workflow, deploying a machine learning model, troubleshooting a production issue, or helping another developer 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 capabilities that will power the next generation of dental software. 

What You’ll Do

As an AI Software Developer, you’ll work alongside our Architecture, Development and Product teams to build and deliver intelligent capabilities across the Curve platform.
