Posted on June 09, 2026

Kindr is building the automation layer for modern dental clinics. We help clinics reduce administrative burden, improve patient communication, and handle high-volume insurance and reception workflows that have historically been manual, fragmented, and painful. We’ve handled over +60,000 calls and verified +25,000 patients across Canada with strong recurring revenue and clear market pull. We are early in a category that is still being defined, and we believe there is a meaningful opportunity to become core infrastructure for dental practices across the country.

Dental clinics are drowning in front-desk admin work. Their staff spends 30-40 hours every month calling insurance companies. They miss calls that cost the clinic over $150K+ in annual production. Patients wait days for treatment plans. Patient care gets interrupted.

• Own backend architecture across APIs, queues, event systems, services, and the database
• Design data extraction and transformation pipelines for clinic, medical, and insurance data
• Integrate with legacy practice management systems and insurance portals, including the unglamorous, high-value work that makes automation possible
• Build with LLMs for extraction and automation, including evaluation systems so we know when model output can be trusted
• Help drive architecture decisions, technical tradeoffs, and tooling choices
• Mentor 1?2 developers, run code reviews, and help set the bar for how we build
• Stay roughly 70% hands-on; this is a builder role, not a people-management role

• Senior-level experience building backend systems, usually around 5?8+ years
• Strong Python experience
• Strong SQL experience, preferably Postgres
• Experience designing APIs, services, and data pipelines
• Comfort working with queues, concurrent processing, event-driven systems, or similar backend patterns
• Practical cloud experience; we are on Azure, but deep Azure-specific experience is not required
• Experience reviewing code, mentoring other engineers, or raising engineering standards on a small team
• High ownership: you can take an ambiguous problem from research to shipped without needing step-by-step direction
• Comfort using AI development tools day to day
• Clear communication skills, including the ability to occasionally work directly with clinics, partners, or non-technical teammates

• LLM integration for data extraction, automation, or evaluation
• Experience with healthcare, dental, fintech, insurance, or another regulated or workflow-heavy industry
• React experience, especially if you enjoy occa
