Incisive is building a better model for restorative dentistry by providing a comprehensive B2B SaaS platform that supports independent dental practices. The Software Engineer role involves building and scaling the SaaS portal, infrastructure, and data products with a focus on AI-driven development and cloud-native architecture. This position offers the opportunity to work on a modern codebase, collaborate in an agile startup environment, and ensure compliance with healthcare data privacy regulations.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain full-stack applications using React on the frontend and Python on the backend, with PostgreSQL as the primary data store
- Build and deploy scalable, secure cloud infrastructure on AWS, leveraging services such as ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, and CloudFront as appropriate
- Maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform to ensure reproducible, version-controlled environments across dev, staging, and production
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions to automate testing, builds, and deployments
- Practice Test-Driven Development (TDD), writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests before or alongside implementation to ensure high code quality and confidence in releases
- Apply Spec-Driven AI Development practices — writing clear, structured specifications that guide AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate implementation while maintaining code quality and architectural consistency
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to translate business requirements into well-scoped technical specs
- Conduct code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and help enforce engineering best practices
- Monitor application performance and reliability in production, using observability tools to proactively identify and resolve issues
- Participate in architectural decisions, balancing scalability, maintainability, and delivery speed
- Design and implement systems that handle Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in full compliance with HIPAA and other applicable data privacy regulations, incorporating encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, and audit logging by default
Skills
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of production systems

- Solid experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and migrations
- Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services and cloud architecture best practices
- Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, CDK, CloudFormation, or similar)
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
- Strong understanding of and commitment to Test-Driven Development and automated testing practices
- Experience using AI coding tools within a spec-driven workflow, with an ability to write precise, unambiguous technical specifications
- Excellent written communication skills — critical for a remote, distributed team
- Comfortable working independently and asynchronously in a fully remote environment
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
- Demonstrated experience building and maintaining applications that securely handle PHI and/or PII, with working knowledge of HIPAA, SOC 2, or similar compliance frameworks and how they shape architecture, data storage, and access decisions
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
- Familiarity with security best practices for cloud-native applications
- Experience with observability/monitoring stacks (Datadog, CloudWatch, Grafana)
- Prior experience in a fully remote, async-first engineering culture
