Senior Backend Engineer Employer: Kindr.ca Posted on June 09, 2026 Kindr is building the automation layer for modern dental clinics. We help clinics reduce administrative burden, improve patient communication, and handle high-volume insurance and reception workflows that have historically been manual, fragmented, and painful. We’ve handled over +60,000 calls and verified +25,000 patients across Canada with strong recurring revenue and clear market pull. We are early in a category that is still being defined, and we believe there is a meaningful opportunity to become core infrastructure for dental practices across the country. Problem We Solve Dental clinics are drowning in front-desk admin work. Their staff spends 30-40 hours every month calling insurance companies. They miss calls that cost the clinic over $150K+ in annual production. Patients wait days for treatment plans. Patient care gets interrupted.
