Job description

Are you passionate about technology with a purpose? Want to make a meaningful impact on people's health? Want to work in an AI-native company? At Relu, we're growing - and we're looking for someone like you. We're looking for a Backend Engineer, Integrations & Applied AI to join our Automate Platform team. You'd own the inbox pipeline from the moment a case arrives: get data in from every scanner and folder, understand the case, act on it, and keep the dentist in the loop.

What you would work on:

Integrations in:

scanner platforms (3Shape, Medit, iTero, Shining3D, AlliedStar, DS Core, Dexis and new ones), folder sync, email, WeTransfer.

Integrations out:

LMSs (Labtrac, DentiSky and others) for pulling order data and pushing status, CAM and printers (Shapeware, Formlabs, SprintRay, Carbon), folder sync out, exports to 3Shape and Exocad.

Automatic case entry:

enter scanner data into the LMS. For LMSs without an API, a browser or computer-use automation.

Rx digitizer:

read prescription PDFs and scanned forms into structured data (teeth, shades, materials, due dates), across languages and lab abbreviations.

Rx intelligence:

from the Rx, notes, doctor and the lab's history, predict which CAD orders to create, and learn from what users accept or correct.

Rx QC:

flag missing, inconsistent or contradictory prescriptions.

Scan Check in the inbox (backend):

pick checks by order type, set blocker versus warning. The AI team builds the checks.

Dentist messaging:

per-case threads through scanner platforms, email and WhatsApp.

Ask Relu:

tools that act in the app, the knowledge base, model choice and cost, answer-quality evals.

First 6 months

Month 1:

take over inbox poll health and two or three vendor integrations. Fix the known evidence leaks in the sync templates.

Months 2 to 3:

build the Rx extraction eval set from real cases. Ship the digitizer and normalization v2 behind a confidence threshold.

Months 3 to 5:

first LMS integration (pull data, push status), then automatic case entry for one LMS.

Months 5 to 6:

Rx intelligence v1, predicting CAD orders per lab and learning from corrections.

Must-haves

Product ownership and vision: takes a raw user problem ("a lab says cases are missing", "order entry takes too long"), finds the real need, and scopes what is essential versus nice to have before building. 3+ years of backend engineering, strong Python. Has built many third-party integrations and handled OAuth and token refresh, rate limits, idempotency, retries, webhooks versus polling, and schema drift. Has shipped LLM features to production with evals: datasets, metrics, regression checks when prompts or models change, cost tracking. Owns problems end to end, from "a lab says cases are missing" to root cause, fix and monitoring. Pragmatic: picks a rules catalog with an LLM fallback over an elaborate ML system when that works.

Nice-to-haves

Healthcare, dental or regulated-data experience (HIPAA, GDPR). Document extraction or OCR, or browser and computer-use automation. Workflow engines (ActivePieces, Temporal, n8n) or ETL pipelines. Dutch or French.

A mission that matters:

we're improving dental care and making higher-quality dentistry accessible to everyone, globally A fast-growing company where your growth goes hand-in-hand with ours - real impact, real ownership, early responsibility and skills in the technologies of the future The chance to work with the latest AI technologies and industry leaders in dentistry
