Job Description

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry--an industry worth over $200B. Backed by some of the world's leading venture capital firms, we're on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world--empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients.


We are currently expanding our advanced manufacturing and R&D footprint in Singapore, where we are collaborating with vendor partners to develop complex automation solutions.


To accelerate this work, we're hiring a Senior Software Engineer based in Singapore to work closely with local vendors and serve as the technical bridge between our U.S. engineering team and the manufacturing process on the ground. This is a critical hire designed to increase development velocity. You'll be close to the heart of Dandy's automation innovation, solving novel problems that intersect software and hardware and make a significant contribution to shaping the future of custom digital manufacturing.

What You'll Do

Develop a deep understanding of internal CAD and automation tools built by Dandy's engineering team in the U.S. and how they integrate into the manufacturing process. Serve as the first line of technical defense for any software or system-related failures in Singapore-based manufacturing processes. Build and maintain diagnostic and triage tools to detect, isolate, and resolve system failures with minimal disruption to operations. Lead and coordinate local debugging efforts during production station bring-up and work in tight sync with vendors and cross-functional stakeholders. Act as the engineering point of contact for automation development partnerships Work with the U.S.-based team during a daily 1-2 hour overlap window to stay aligned and escalate major issues or requests for support. Contribute to backend development and tooling in support of automation initiatives and process improvement.

What we're looking for

5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in a manufacturing, robotics, or automation context. Strong backend programming skills, especially in C++ and Python. Prior experience with industrial automation, robotics systems, or CAD/CAM workflows. Familiar with systems integration, hardware/software interfaces, and production station bring-up. Experienced with diagnostic tooling, debugging processes, and real-time monitoring of distributed systems. Comfortable with ambiguity and working in fast-moving, cross-functional teams. Highly autonomous and able to operate independently Strong communicator, able to coordinate across time zones and distill complex problems into clear updates and action plans. Highly process-oriented with a strong emphasis on writing clear, maintainable documentation to support asynchronous collaboration.

Work Environment

This role is based in Singapore, with onsite presence required during key moments (e.g., equipment bring-up, vendor collaboration), and hybrid flexibility during lower-activity periods. Open to traveling 1-2 times per year to the US. Expected to maintain daily 1-2 hour overlap with the U.S. team for syncs and progress updates.
