Principal Product Manager, Foundational ML Models

Dandy is transforming the massive and antiquated dental industry—an industry worth over $200B. Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital firms, we’re on an ambitious mission to simplify and modernize every function of the dental practice through technology. As we expand our reach globally, Dandy is building the operating system for dental offices around the world—empowering clinicians and their teams with technology, innovation, and world-class support to achieve more for their practices, their people, and their patients.

About the Role

Dandy is hiring a Principal Product Manager, Foundational ML Models. This role will work at the intersection of CAD, ML, and human expertise to build the world’s most advanced ML-driven CAD prosthetic design experience. You’ll join the only company building 3D generative AI for dental prosthetics — powered by the world’s largest labeled prosthetic dataset, and a top-tier ML group pushing the frontier where no one else is even trying.

This role is ideal for a product leader who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments and wants to shape the future of how dentistry is designed and delivered digitally. This isn’t just about iterating on the status quo—it’s about building the systems that will define what digital dental design looks like in the years to come.

What You'll Do

Product development at Dandy is a collaborative, high-impact function. You’ll serve as the connective tissue between design, engineering, operations, and business leadership to drive both strategy and execution.

• Define and execute the product vision for our ML-driven CAD prosthetic design system, setting a long-term direction aligned with company priorities and customer needs.

• Partner with CAD, ML, and full-stack engineering teams to deliver scalable, high-performance tools that enable accurate, fast, and intuitive dental design.

• Deeply understand user workflows—especially those of internal designers and doctors—and translate complex needs into clear, actionable product requirements.

• Conduct customer discovery, market research, and competitive analysis to inform roadmap decisions and identify opportunities to innovate.

• Drive cross-functional alignment and decision-making across stakeholders, ensuring transparency, clarity, and momentum on key initiatives.

• Manage the full product lifecycle, from ideation to launch and iteration, in a highly agile and collaborative environment.

• Use data and qualitative insights to measure impact, communicate results, and continuously refine the product direction.

• Interface with third-party vendors and partners as needed to evaluate and integrate complementary technologies.

• Champion a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous learning

What We're Looking For

We’re looking for creative and curious product thinkers who can develop and grow a compelling vision for Dandy's products. We seek an experienced Principal Product Manager accustomed to working in a hyper-growth, customer obsessed organization.

• 5+ years of experience in product management, managing software products through the full lifecycle from MVP to general release and subsequent iterations.

• Technical competence and comfort-level. You can discuss and debate APIs and ML with the engineering team (but you don’t need to be able to code).

• High bias-to-action. You regularly knock down barriers and get things done, quickly.

• Ability to drive alignment across many cross-functional stakeholders.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

• Strong project management skills, with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple initiatives simultaneously while meeting deadlines.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze complex data, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions.

• Proven ability to think strategically, develop product roadmaps, and execute against them to deliver impactful results.

Bonus Points For

• Experience building 3D and /or CAD design systems. Bonus points if it’s 0-1.
