To eliminate every barrier to mental health.
Role
Who you are
- At least 10 years experience as a software engineer
- At least 5 years of cumulative experience or exposure developing mobile apps on both Flutter (Dart) and React Native (JS/TS)
- Uses AI to explore and validate architectural decisions, design AI-augmented engineering workflows, and establish quality and safety guardrails for AI-assisted work across a team
- Track record of proactive and collaborative leadership style
- Track record of technical leadership, creating clarity from ambiguity
What the job involves
- The Member Growth Engineering team builds the digital experiences that help new members discover Spring Health and guide all members to the right care at the right moment. We are moving beyond traditional funnels to build a D2C brand and a habit-forming product
- You will iterate rapidly on acquisition loops, activation pathways, and nurturing experiences to convert and re-engage members, ultimately driving Spring’s mission of eliminating every barrier to mental health
- We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help us evolve all of our mobile experiences to be best-in-class in service of this mission
- Take ownership of a team’s architecture—providing system-wide design guidance, decomposing software architecture into discrete components, and ensuring sound tradeoffs across competing dimensions
- Produce architecture that is exemplary in terms of efficiency, stability, extensibility, and the ability to evolve; designs reflect strategic vision, awareness of non-functional requirements, and future product flexibility
- Use AI to explore and validate architectural patterns and decisions; design AI-augmented workflows (e.g., automated code generation, incident analysis) that multiply team output and enable engineers at all levels to work more effectively
- Establish guardrails for safe and responsible AI usage across your team, covering security, compliance, and output correctness
- Drive best practices across the organization; lead initiatives to eliminate tech debt and prepare the codebase for future roadmap requirements
- Critically influence large, cross-team projects—ensuring execution without delay or compromise, and anticipating and removing barriers of all kinds
- Partnering with design to define a mobile design system and UX heuristics
- Owning mobile CI/CD, app release process, and SDK/framework upgrades
- Bring critical thinking and drive shared understanding in ambiguous situations; given a clear vision, create a strategy; given a clear strategy, define a sequence of objectives
- Provide a system-wide view to the engineers you work with; share architectural improvements across the tech org to build buy-in and drive broad implementation
- Develop strong working relationships cross-functionally and with business stakeholders; make sound tradeoffs between competing needs across short- and long-term horizons
- Empower engineers to set ambitious goals and turn vision into reality; mentor and develop engineers across the organization, not just your immediate team
- Architectural Ownership – You are responsible for a team’s architecture. Your designs are exemplary—others reference them as the standard for engineering excellence across the org
- AI-Augmented Engineering – You design workflows and tooling that make AI a force multiplier for your team. You establish guardrails that keep AI usage safe, compliant, and high-quality
- Strategic Clarity – You turn vision into strategy and strategy into objectives. You bring structure and shared understanding to the most ambiguous problems on your team and across the org
- Cross-Org Influence – You drive best practices beyond your immediate team. Engineers and leaders across the organization seek your input on the hardest technical problems
- Engineering Excellence – You lead large-scale initiatives to reduce tech debt, improve architecture, and raise the quality bar. You leave every system better than you found it
- People & Org Health – You empower engineers to do their best work—providing proper context, mentoring across levels, and fostering an inclusive, high-trust culture
- Operational Reliability – You handle escalations reliably and lead high-stakes investigations with calm, clear communication. You drive systemic improvements to reduce future incidents
Our take
Large companies often provide employees with mental health services, but small businesses find it challenging to offer similar support. Additionally, existing support systems are usually generalised, failing to deliver the personalised mental healthcare that individuals need. To address this gap, Spring Health has developed AI-driven tools for employers to create tailored mental wellness plans for their employees, including treatment options, daily routines, and medication plans based on individual data.
Spring Health has recently expanded its services to the family and pediatric space through the acquisition of Weldon, offering mental wellness guidance to parents. This expansion includes chats with therapists, social workers, and parenting coaches, as well as group support with other parents and access to educational content. By focusing on personalised care, Spring Health aims to enhance mental wellness support for families alongside its existing employee services.
The behavioural health market is projected to grow to $242B by 2027. While many solutions prioritise fast access to therapy or meditation, Spring Health differentiates itself by emphasising the right type of care for each individual. With substantial funding raised and a 2026 placement on the TIME100 Most Influential Companies List, Spring Health is well-positioned to continue its innovative approach to mental health services.
