Staff Principal Software Engineer

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.

Were hiring the engineer who will help define how that platform grows.

The Role

Youll own the architecture of the system powering Overjets 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. Youll 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. Youll set technical direction make architectural decisions and raise the engineering bar across the platform.

Responsibilities or What Youll 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 Were Looking For
We care more about the systems youve 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
Overjets 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.
