The Opportunity

Join 3Shape’s department for innovation projects as our new software engineer and work at the earliest stage of our new product exploration. The team is multi-disciplinary, the hierarchy is flat, and everyone’s know-how is needed to build 3Shape’s future cutting-edge products.

In the Innovation Projects team, we combine user pain points and available technology to provide our customers with novel solutions that they love and use. You will help us explore novel ideas by building proof of concepts (PoC) to pick the ones that show true potential. Currently we are looking into AI Agents and how they can be used reliably.
Building products with an innovative edge benefit from an attractive toolbox, hence we provide access to a palette of AI coding assistants and other software you think might increase productivity

Key responsibilities

• Rapid prototyping while knowing when to build something throw away fast versus when to invest in robustness.

• Designing and building complex software solutions for humans and agents that include backend and simple frontend as well as testing and reviewing code (not just by an AI assistant)

• Documenting learnings, decisions, and architecture so knowledge survives past a single PoC.

• Self-education to stay up to date with the newest standards, while assessing and scouting new technologies to stay abreast of where the industry is moving.

• Frequent demos/pitches to key decision makers and users.

• Occasional participation in user research enhances your understanding of the dental industry.

Your profile

As our new software developer, we imagine that you come with an ambitious mind, wanting to do your best. Likewise, we see that you’ve mastered the fundamentals of software engineering, bringing a few years of experience. Most importantly, we see that you act with integrity, treat people with respect, and can’t wait to contribute your energy to our team.

Likewise, we look for someone who can tick most of the following boxes:

• You likely hold a master’s degree in a relevant field like software engineering, computer science, machine learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science or similar.

• You have experience with programming languages like Python and C#.

• You are a team player, think big, share your ideas and can also work autonomously.

• You have experience with GenAI and have been in contact with prompt and context engineering, retrieval strategies, chunking, embeddings, vector search or RAG optimization.

• Having knowledge of machine learning or computer vision is a plus.

• You have strong analytical skills combined with the ability to manage a demanding workload and enjoy learning new things.

• You possess strong communication and presentation skills in oral and written English.

Join us in shaping a company culture that makes Monday mornings worth it.

We are a vibrant, visionary, and international place to work. But most of all, we are a diverse group of over 50 different nationalities who all contribute to a thriving company culture. We partake in social clubs, monthly social activities, and various in-team activities as well. If that’s not enough, then add on:

• A central Copenhagen location at a globally recognized tech company.

• An attractive healthcare package to keep you fit and well.

• Breakfast every day, and a delicious and healthy lunch cooked by our private chefs.

• A joint purpose: to enable dentists to provide superior dental care to every patient, every time.
