About the role

About Us:

Henry Schein One is the global leader in dental management, analytics, communication and marketing software. We deliver innovative dental software and services, combined with expert business coaching, to help connect dental technology so it works as one. When technology connects, more data is shared, more tasks are automated, and more work gets done. Most importantly, dental professionals have more time to focus on providing a quality experience for their patients. In fact, one connected practice management system simplifies each step of the patient experience - from first contact and scheduling to clinical treatment and billing, to ensuring loyalty and recurring care.

Henry Schein One Canada has over 20 years of experience developing and supporting software in dental markets in Canada and throughout the world. As part of Henry Schein One, our products support the Canadian Dental Practice Management and Global Academic-Dental markets. Our on-premises products are well established with strong customer loyalty while our cloud product customer base is growing every year.

The engineering team operates as a tight-knit, collaborative group where openness, curiosity, and problem-solving drive progress. Each member is given autonomy to design and implement meaningful solutions, balanced by a strong sense of accountability to the product vision and customer outcomes.
