Recruiters: we only want to hear from applicants. Emails from recruiters will be marked as spam.
Here’s the deal:
We’re building a world where every doctor can run their practice with zero support staff. We do this by building vertical AI agents that automate a clinic’s back office operations.
We grew 30x during the W25 batch, just closed our seed round, already have a mature GTM motion in place, but now we need to build our product to be capable of handling 140k dental clinics.
As a Lead Founding Engineer, you will work with the CTO in developing and maintaining the product with a small talented team of other founding employees. There is a lot to build, but you won’t be alone. You will be joined by a team of experienced founders, builders, designers, and dreamers. Amongst us are people who have raised over $100m. Scaled businesses to $12m ARR in 18 months. We have people who were instrumental in the earliest days of some of the largest dental software companies around today.
What does Toothy offer you?
Toothy is early-stage, and our biggest challenges are all engineering-oriented. You will be instrumental to the success of this company, and those that it serves. We are a small team but we have a lot of resources and connections at our disposal that are atypical of a startup our size.
There is a real opportunity to do something big here, and when we succeed, you will reap the rewards that go with that. This is the most important position that we will hire for at this stage of the company; you will feel that when you work here.
Tech Stack
We’re primarily a Python shop, and thus all our core infrastructure is built in Python. However one of our founders is a fullstack React/Node dev, and thus any app with an interface gets built in JS.

About Toothy
At Toothy, we’re enabling doctors to focus on what’s most important: patient care. We strive to ship the highest quality products while working at the pace that a startup environment demands. As a startup, our team and culture is built around transparency, integrity, and trust with a passion to meet our larger mission and goal. We believe when our employees thrive our service flourishes.
Toothy is automating all of the mundane back office work that a dental practice needs to do to deliver patient care. Gathering insurance benefits, submitting & following up on claims, depositing checks, and a whole lot more, we do this so the clinic doesn’t have to. We deliver this through LLMs, AI voice, and a lot of ingenuity. We believe we are only scratching the service on a vast opportunity in this market, and we are looking for amazing and passionate people to help deliver an outstanding experience for doctors and patients.
We’re Toothy.ai. We’re building AI agents for dental practices that handle everything related to patient insurance. The average dental clinic spends over 160 hours a month on insurance tasks like verifying patient policies, billing, and claims processing. Our AI agents automate this entire workflow—including making insurance calls with voice AI—saving clinics time, reducing costs, and ensuring faster reimbursements.
