Who are we?
Auggie is an AI-powered platform for dental practices. Our core product helps clinics bring patients back before small problems become big ones and we're building AI agent systems that will transform how practices operate.
We're seed-funded, backed by Antler and Black Nova, with paying customers and real traction. Three founders, backgrounds spanning Harrison.ai, Core Practice (Dental PMS), Nib, Salesforce, SafetyCulture, and Faethm AI. Small, focused, and building something that matters.
Our mission:
Healthcare expects people to remember to look after themselves. We're building the system that actually supports them.
What’s in it for you?
You'll be our first engineering hire. That's not a line in a job ad—it's the reality. You'll shape the product, the architecture, and the engineering culture from the ground up.
The CTO is technical and hands-on. You won't be reporting to someone who stopped coding five years ago. You'll be building alongside him, owning entire product areas, and shipping code to real customers within your first week.
This is a founding role. If Auggie succeeds, you'll have been there when it was four people and an idea that worked.
What You'll Do
- Build AI agent systems that automate key practice workflows. This is core to where we're headed
- Own and ship features end-to-end—from problem to production
- Shape technical architecture and set patterns that will scale with the company
- Shore up our infrastructure and DevOps capability
- Work directly with customers to understand what they need
- Contribute to product decisions, not just execute them
- Help hire and onboard the next engineer when the time comes
Have these skills plis
- 5+ years of experience building production software
- Strong backend skills (Node.js preferred, but transferable experience counts)
- Comfortable across the stack - you've worked with React or similar frontend frameworks
- Experience with AWS and PostgreSQL (or equivalent cloud/database experience)
- You've built from scratch or worked in early-stage teams before
- Based in Australia with full work rights - we cannot sponsor visas
- You want to be at a startup, not just tolerate it
Nice-to-Haves
- DevOps or platform engineering experience (CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code)
- Healthcare or SaaS experience
- Experience in a customer-facing technical role
Benefits
- Salary + Equity:
$160,000–$200,000 depending on equity %
- Leave:
Birthday off + wellbeing days for life events that don't fit a category
- Remote:
Work from anywhere in Australia. Our investors have offices all over the world which you can access if you want a change of scenery
- Equipment:
Laptop of your choice (within reason)
- Dental Benefits:
$500 towards your dental check ups!
Interview Process
We respect your time. Two stages, no leetcode, done in two weeks (or less).
- Intro call
(30 min, CEO) - Qualification, selling the company, mutual fit
- Full interview
(90 min, all founders) - Technical deep-dive, pair programming, founders conversation. You can split this into one session (60 + 30 minutes) if that works better for you.
- Reference check
- Two short calls before we make an offer
What This Role Is (and Isn't)
✅ High ownership - you'll own problems, not just tickets
✅ Direct feedback culture - we have a #fck-ups Slack channel where mistakes get shared openly
✅ Pragmatic pace - we ship at 80% and iterate, not polish endlessly
✅ Remote with trust - judged on what you ship, not when you're online
❌ Not for someone who needs detailed specs before they can start
❌ Not for someone who wants to specialise narrowly - you'll need to step outside your lane
❌ Not for someone uncomfortable giving or receiving honest feedback
❌ Not for someone looking for a predictable corporate ladder
Apply
We're looking to have someone in-seat by mid to late February. If you want to build something that keeps patients healthier and practices thriving and you want to do it with a small team that says the hard thing and ships fast; we'd like to hear from you.
Hit apply we'd love to hear from you!
