Talent & People Coordinator

About us

Torch Dental is building the operating system for dental practices. Based in NYC and Austin, we're on a mission to modernize the dental supply chain and revenue cycle by helping practices save time, reduce costs, and improve profitability through software that transforms critical parts of their business.

We offer two major products:

• Torch Dental Marketplace - the Amazon of the dental supply chain, helping practices simplify purchasing and save 15-25% on supplies from day one through transparent pricing across thousands of products.

• Torch Revenue Cycle Management - an agentic AI insurance platform launching this year that solves one of dentistry's biggest pain points: helping practices get paid faster and more accurately by insurance providers, using technology that's long underserved this space.

Operating in a $100B+ healthcare market, Torch is profitable, well-capitalized, and growing with intention. We're backed by leading investors including Harvard Management Company, MIT, Blackstone, Bessemer Venture Partners, and American Express Ventures, and we're entering an exciting new chapter as we scale both our marketplace and AI-powered revenue cycle platform.

We're a high-performance, close-knit team that enjoys solving real customer problems. We move quickly, take ownership, and maintain a strong bias for action. We believe great people do their best work when given meaningful responsibility, ambitious goals, and the opportunity to make a measurable impact. If you're excited about building category-defining products and helping healthcare providers thrive, we'd love to meet you.
