About this role

DayDream helps dentists get paid for the work they do. In this $165B market, our product simplifies the complex process of verifying insurance coverage, submitting claims, appealing denials, billing patients, and maintaining clean books. As a result of how complex this process is and how many things get lost in the process, dentists can lose 10-20% of their revenue!

What this leads to is the things patients hate about the American healthcare system: it’s inefficient, unaffordable, and just too d*mn confusing. We work with a lot of dentists and they don’t love it either. Dentists want to treat you, help you, and see you smile.

We believe that by automating parts of revenue cycle management, we increase financial transparency for everyone involved - patients, providers, and help support small business owner dentists across America.

The Role

We are looking for a frontend focused engineer.
