Role
Who you are
- You have 4+ years in engineering. You’ve made pragmatic engineering decisions, and have proven your technical skills in industry
- You were previously on an Internal Tools team or supported internal customers/stakeholders, and enjoyed it!
- You have full-stack web development experience with a lean towards back-end development. You’re excited to write Python, a bit of JavaScript, use Postgres, and delegate to vendors when needed
- You enjoy thinking critically about trade-offs between solutions, while considering the overall team goals and company goals
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Engineer on Grow Therapy’s Internal Tools team to create software to enable our departments to scale efficiently as our business grows. The Internal Tools team will partner with departmental leads and other key stakeholders to understand and address their current pain points
- Enabling business workflows from various departments using appropriate and pragmatic tooling
- Creating internal apps in Retool that communicate with Grow’s back-end services
- Optimizing dashboards for performance using observability tooling, adding pagination, decreasing DB query times, and more
- Evaluating build versus buy and comparing vendors for solutions
Our take
Mental health issues affect about 20% of Americans, so there’s an immense need for qualified mental healthcare in the US. However the vast majority of therapists don’t accept insurance due to the prohibitive administrative workload involved. This leaves therapy out of reach for many Americans. So it’s no surprise that the Grow Therapy platform has seen skyrocketing popularity since it was founded in 2020.
Grow Therapy helps therapists open their own in-network practices, providing the technology, support, and resources to tackle the extra operational workload that would allow them to take insurance. It’s live across a number of states, and works in partnership with all the major insurance payers including Humana, Aetna and Cigna.
The company is competing with larger rivals like Alma and Quartet Health, but this should be a big enough market for several major participants. Grow has secured good funding which supports the launch of its enhanced measurement-informed care system, which will help improve the care experience for clients and providers and make value-based behavioral care accessible for more patients.
