Desirable

• Building a new mental healthcare system at Headway is only possible because of the scale and leverage that software can provide

• As we scale, we're looking for an experienced Data Platform Engineer to help us design and build infrastructure to support the growth of our data engineering, data analyst and machine learning teams
• You’ll work closely with our Data Analytics & Engineering teams, Product Engineering, and Machine Learning teams to support analytics needs as we grow in traffic, data, and scale

• Ship small, learn fast: We are building new and novel products and believe that we learn what our users need by quickly shipping and iteration
• Everything is a product: Whether it's our patient search experience or a developer productivity improvement, we treat everything we build at Headway as a product with end-users in mind
• Optimize for trust: We believe that engineers should be continually learning. To learn effectively and to be productive, engineers must feel safe asking questions and discussing mistakes
