Engineering Technical Lead

About Planet DDS

We’re on a mission to fix dental software - and we’re not playing small. Our platform replaces clunky, outdated systems with modern, cloud-based, AI-powered technology built to actually work at scale. From practice management to imaging to revenue cycle automation, we’re tearing down the old infrastructure and rebuilding the future of dentistry. Planet DDS is the fastest-growing provider of dental practice management solutions and the #1 cloud platform for DSOs and multi-location groups.

Here, you won’t just join a team - you’ll join a movement. We want bold thinkers who are ambitious enough to push limits, empathetic enough to work as one, and accountable enough to own big outcomes. Trust is our currency, collaboration is our edge, and impact is our fuel. If you’re ready to grow fast, challenge the status quo, and help reinvent an entire industry, Planet DDS is where you belong.

Overview

We’re looking for a Tech Lead who is a strong software engineer first – someone who has integrated AI development tools deeply into how they work and can drive a small, autonomous team to deliver meaningful outcomes for our customers. This isn’t a management role. You won’t have HR responsibilities. What you will have is ownership: a dedicated product pod (typically 2 software engineers and a QA engineer), a direct line to DevOps, DBAs, and Product, and access to real customers so you can iterate fast and ship with confidence.

You’ll lead the technical direction of your pod, make architectural decisions, unblock your teammates, and set the standard for how modern, AI-assisted software engineering gets done at Planet DDS. You’ll have meaningful input into how we evolve our engineering practices as an organization, and you’ll be a key part of our transition to outcome-driven, pod-based delivery.

• This is a hybrid position working 1-2x per week in our Glasgow, Scotland office.
