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.
About the RoleIn the past 3 years, Dandy has built the leading digital-first custom dental appliance manufacturer. As we scale to our next level of growth, we are establishing a world-class Machine Learning & Computer Vision team to enhance our 3D dental platform and automate many of the human-driven processes in our manufacturing today.
We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager, Machine Learning to lead a team of MLOps Engineers. You will play a key role in laying the foundation that will drive the team’s success—establishing best practices, solving ambiguous data problems with industry-wide impact, and fostering a culture of innovation.
What You'll DoLead execution of the ML roadmap, with a focus on building scalable, production-grade MLOps infrastructure for 3D deep learning and computer vision applications.
Build and lead a high-performing MLOps team, with an emphasis on reliability, reproducibility, and efficient model lifecycle management.
Partner with product, engineering, and research stakeholders to translate ML innovations into robust, deployable systems that support key business objectives.
Oversee the end-to-end deployment of computer vision models that extract structure from complex 3D scan data, ensuring production readiness and performance at scale.
Drive experimentation and implementation of SOTA techniques for 3D generative AI, while ensuring they are integrated into robust MLOps workflows.
Collaborate cross-functionally to identify pain points and bottlenecks in current ML pipelines and deliver improvements through automation and tooling.
Manage large-scale data pipelines, versioning, and labeling workflows to support both generalized and fine-tuned model development.
Define and implement rigorous evaluation and monitoring strategies to maintain high model quality, mitigate drift, and ensure reliability in production.
Establish and maintain best practices for CI/CD of ML models, including model versioning, rollback mechanisms, and monitoring for performance and integrity.
Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field
5+ years of industry experience in applied machine learning, with at least 2+ years in a leadership or management role.
Deep understanding of MLOps best practices: CI/CD for ML, model deployment, observability, and lifecycle management
Strong people management skills with a track record of team development, hiring mentorship, and retention
Strong Python skills and experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn)
Hands-on experience with model optimization, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation, monitoring, and benchmarking
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure); preference for GCP tools (Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, GKE)
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional efforts across product, engineering, research, and operations.
