About Us
Torch Dental is a high-growth startup on a mission to empower healthcare providers starting with the $100B+ dental market. We’re building a new AI powered Revenue Cycle Management product from the ground up to transform how dental practices get paid. Insurance claims today involve significant manual work across follow up, payment posting, and reconciliation. We believe much of that work can be automated, and we’re building the product to make that possible. We also operate a Marketplace that modernizes dental supply procurement with transparent pricing and a seamless online purchasing experience.
Backed by $50M+ from premier investors like Bessemer, American Express, Health Velocity Capital and Felicis, we are a mission-driven team dedicated to solving tangible problems for small business owners. We prioritize customer obsession and a bias for action, fostering a collaborative culture where every engineer is encouraged to take ownership and deliver meaningful impact.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer who leans frontend to build our RCM product while also contributing to our established Marketplace. You'll spend the majority of your time building the experiences dental practice owners and their teams use every day, while owning features end to end across the stack.
We care deeply about customers and the product experience. You'll work closely with product, business stakeholders, and other engineers to understand customer problems, shape solutions, and ship experiences that feel simple and intuitive.
We expect AI to be part of how you build. Project planning , driving implementation with coding agents, and reviewing output with the same rigor you'd apply to a teammate's pull request. Our interview process reflects this. During the onsite, you'll build on your own laptop using your own AI tools and setup, so we can see how you actually work.

Collaborate with product and business stakeholders to translate requirements into clean, usable interfaces
Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and engineering standards
Mentor other engineers and advocate for frontend quality across the team

Hands-on experience with TanStack Router and TanStack Query (or strong opinions about routing and data fetching you're ready to apply)
Backend range to build and maintain Python/FastAPI endpoints and data models
Strong instincts for product quality, strong attention to detail and judgement to around implementation decisions
Familiarity with coding agents and can articulate where they work well, where they fail, and how their workflow has evolved around them
Preferred Qualifications
