Apex Dental Partners | Full-Stack Developer | Dallas, TX | REMOTE (US) or HYBRID | Full-time | apexdp.com

We're a Dental Support Organization running 65 practices across eight states. Dentistry doesn't sound like a technical job, but the platform behind it is: we've built our own operations system (Rails 8 + React, Electron, Go, and C#/.NET against OpenDental, all on AWS) and we're pushing hard on automation and AI to make the practices run better.

The team is small and developers own problems end-to-end. You'll figure out why a billing workflow breaks down, design the fix, ship it, and hear from the office manager who uses it the next week. Recent work includes an AI-first metrics layer that answers operational questions in chat, automated patient scheduling and communication, insurance verification scraping, and a live PMS integration across every practice. The domain is wide (clinical workflows, payroll, patient comms, revenue cycle) and there's a lot of novel work left once you learn the business. Big emphasis placed on being able to sit down with non-engineering team members and understand their workflows and build software to make it better.

Good fit if you want a stable company, a small team, broad latitude, and work that visibly matters to the people using it. We're actively building new features, not just maintaining what exists, so there's a healthy mix of greenfield work and improving a platform that's already in daily use by our nearly 1,000 employees.

Must reside in the US and be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship.
