Software Engineer, Backend Developer

Senior Backend Engineer

Employer:

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.

Problem We Solve
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.

What you?ll do

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

What we?re looking for

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

Big pluses

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
