- Excellent SQL skills
- Strong scripting Python skills
- Previous experience building workforce management, capacity modeling, or production planning systems

- Bias for action and desire to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
- Strong customer empathy, particularly for dentists

What the job involves
- We're on the hunt for experienced senior data scientists who can tackle some of our most significant challenges within our supply chain and manufacturing operations
- Our Operations team plays a pivotal role in Dandy's dental operations, overseeing critical areas like production management, workforce analytics and supply chain optimization

- Build production management and capacity planning systems to help the business execute and scale
- Develop and share insights that drive impact within the Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Operations teams
- Define the data language (i.e. KPIs, dashboards, measurement, etc) to ensure your team grasps the underlying truth that drives progress and success
- Facilitate rapid decision making through ad hoc work or by democratizing data/self service (effective BI or user-friendly explores in Looker in partnership with our data engineers)
- Utilize your data super powers to reduce ambiguity and solve problems
- Mentor other analysts and help them grow
Our take
Dentistry has long relied on outdated practices. Dandy was created to modernize and simplify dental operations by integrating technology into every aspect of the dental practice. Its goal is to streamline workflows, making dental practices more efficient and easier to manage.
While other startups have tried to bring technology to the dental field, Dandy distinguishes itself by understanding the industry's complexity and respecting the way dentists operate. Rather than overwhelming practitioners with a complete overhaul, Dandy introduces new features gradually, such as digitizing dental labs for procedures like crowns and implants.
Dandy aims to provide a complete "business-in-a-box" solution that allows dentists to focus on patient care while the platform handles administrative and operational tasks. While this vision has the potential to bring immense value to a field in need of innovation, the challenge lies in overcoming dentistry's resistance to change. Patience and persistence will be key as Dandy reshapes how dental professionals run their practices.
