Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of product features from an engineering perspective—from architecture and design through deployment and monitoring
• Design, build, and scale robust backend and frontend components for our clinical product suite
• Leverage AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, and others) as a force multiplier, consistently operating at a multiple of traditional development workflows
• Bring a product-focused mindset to engineering work, balancing technical execution with usability, business goals, and real-world constraints to deliver impactful user experiences
• Collaborate cross-functionally with ML, product, and engineering teams to develop intelligent, reliable features
• Ensure high-quality software through automated testing, code review, and sound engineering practices
• Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape and proactively share learnings with the team
• Help define and champion AI-first engineering best practices across the organization
• Mentor teammates on effective AI-augmented development practices

What You'll Deliver

• Features shipped across Pearl's clinical product suite using AI-assisted development workflows
• Scalable system architectures that integrate seamlessly with Pearl's ML and computer vision pipelines
• Engineering velocity and quality improvements by identifying where AI tooling can reduce friction
• Comprehensive documentation and code reviews leveraging AI tooling for efficiency

What You'll Need

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a track record of shipping impactful products
• Strong proficiency in modern programming languages and full-stack development (frontend and backend)
• Proven experience designing and scaling distributed systems or backend infrastructure
• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants and commitment to AI-augmented workflows
• Product intuition and ability to balance technical decisions with user needs and business impact
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
• Experience or familiarity with healthcare technology, regulated industries, or compliance standards is a plus

Why Join Pearl

You'll work on cutting-edge AI technology that directly improves patient outcomes in dentistry. You'll join a team that values engineering excellence, AI-forward thinking, and shipping at velocity.
