Dentsply Sirona is looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our team as a Computer Graphics Tech Lead for a high-performance, interactive, cloud-based, CAD/CAM applications and AI models development, integration and deployment. This individual is a deeply technical leader and hands-on builder of algorithms, tools, frameworks and the technology stack behind our 3D graphics capabilities, responsible for the architecture, quality, performance and long-term maintainability of the codebase. The role combines expert 3D graphics engineering with modern AI-augmented development, including multi-agent coding workflows and AI model integration.

This is a hybrid position which requires working in the office 4 days per week.

Primary Job Responsibilities

Technical Implementation & Development

• Lead the design and architecture of complex computer graphics systems, ensuring scalability, performance and reliability.
• Design and implement algorithms and tools for creating and processing 3D data (meshes, triangulations, geometry processing).
• Develop and maintain core frameworks, libraries, codebase structure and data/database layers shared across teams.
• Own the health of the technology stack: build systems, dependency management, CI/CD, test automation, performance profiling and technical debt reduction.
• Own incident response processes and ensure system resiliency.

AI-Enabled Engineering

• Establish and champion multi-agent coding workflows (e.g., implementation, review, test-generation, refactoring and documentation agents) with strong verification, guardrails and reproducibility.
• Create repository conventions, context files, tooling and automated checks that make the codebase effective and safe to work on with AI agents.
• Develop and integrate AI/ML components into the 3D pipeline (e.g., model-based mesh processing or analysis), including packaging, deployment, monitoring and performance tuning for cloud and on-device use.
• Rapidly prototype and evaluate new technologies, and turn successful experiments into production-quality solutions.

Project Scope & Complexity

• Lead technical implementation across multiple epics, coordinating features and ensuring consistency in refinement.
• Guide epic refinement to effectively manage multiple features across different teams.

Communication & Impact

• Present complex technical strategies and architectural decisions to diverse stakeholder groups.
• Drive alignment on technical decisions across multiple teams and with Product, UX and Infrastructure.

Leadership & Growth

• Mentor engineers across multiple teams through design and code reviews, serving as a technical coach and advisor.
• Guide architectural decisions and technical direction; provide company-wide technical mentorship.

Qualifications

Education:

• Bachelor's degree (and >10 years of work), Master's degree (and >8 years of work), or PhD (and > 5 years of work) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related fields (algorithmic, mathematical, or numerical background) with strong industry experience, or relevant experience.

Years and Type of Experience:

• 6+ years of engineering experience, including development of 3D computer graphics or geometry-processing software.
• Experience leading complex technical projects across teams.
• Experience with system architecture, framework development and scalability.
• Experience developing and maintaining large codebases and their supporting databases/data layers.
• Experience mentoring engineers across multiple teams.
• Experience with distributed systems.
• Experience using AI coding assistants or multi-agent coding workflows in production development; experience deploying AI/ML models is advantageous.
• Experience in medical device development is a plus.
• Track record of successful architecture decisions is a plus.

Key Skills, Knowledge & Capabilities:

• Expert-level technical strategy and system design skills.
• Deep understanding of scalability and performance optimization.
• Proficient in object-oriented design and programming in modern C++ (C++20/C++23); additional experience in Python or Rust is advantageous.
• Expert knowledge of 3D computer graphics and the mathematics behind it.
• Proficient in the development of algorithms for the creation and processing of 3D data based on triangulations/meshes.
• Experienced in framework development, tooling and software architecture, including architectural decision-making.
• Experienced in CI/CD practices and DevOps collaboration (e.g., Conan, Artifactory, CMake).
• Proficient in CI/CD, containerization (Docker) and cloud computing (e.g., GCP, Kubernetes).
• Experienced with database design and data management for engineering and 3D data (SQL and/or NoSQL).
• Proficient in multi-agent and agentic coding workflows (task decomposition, context engineering, automated review/testing of AI-generated code).
• Experienced in AI development and deployment: integrating models into applications, inference serving, evaluation, monitoring (MLOps/LLMOps) and optimization.
• Fast prototyping skills: ability to move quickly from idea to working proof of concept while keeping production quality.
• Strong incident response and system reliability experience.
• Proven cross-functional leadership abilities.
• Good knowledge of English, both written and spoken. German language skills are advantageous.
• Experienced in shipping solutions in the field of 3D computer graphics or similar field is advantageous.
• Experience with regulatory compliance is advantageous.
• Nice to have: hands-on experience building and running an agentic SDLC in production development (agents for implementation, code review, test generation, refactoring and documentation, integrated into CI/CD with automated verification), with traceability of AI-generated artifacts in a regulated context.
• Industry recognition and thought leadership is a plus.

The base salary and target annual incentive for this role located in Waltham, Massachusetts is between $183,700 - $205,700. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific office location.
