To fundamentally transform mental healthcare accessibility.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of frontend or UX engineering experience, ideally in consumer or product-focused companies
- Strong ability to build scalable component libraries, design systems, or reusable UI frameworks
- Excellent sense of visual and interaction design, with an eye for spacing, typography, motion, polish, and details
- Fluency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript, Next, React, CSS systems, and component architecture
- Experience collaborating closely with designers throughout the entire product development process
- Ability to prototype quickly and translate ambiguous ideas into tangible interfaces
- Deep understanding of accessibility (WCAG) and web performance considerations
- A systems mindset seeing patterns, simplifying complexity, and designing for long-term reuse
- Strong communication skills and ability to influence product direction and UI standards
- A passion for building delightful, consumer-grade user experiences
- Founder’s mindset - ownership, speed, scrappiness, resilience, bias toward action
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Design Engineer to build design systems, motion and interaction patterns that power consumer-grade product experiences at scale
- This role sits at the intersection of design and engineering and is responsible for translating our design vision into scalable, high-quality components and tooling that accelerate product development across the organization
- You will partner closely with designers and product teams to craft polished, consistent, and accessible experiences and with engineers to ensure these patterns are implemented with technical excellence
- You’ll contribute both to design system architecture and hands-on implementation, building the foundations that enable every team to ship beautiful, consistent UI without regressions or re-invention
- This is a foundational role for building a world-class product surface and elevating our craft as we scale
- Design, build, and maintain our core design system, including components, tokens, interaction patterns, and documentation
- Develop scalable UI frameworks that empower engineers to ship consistent, consumer-grade experiences quickly
- Partner directly with product designers to translate UI/UX patterns into reusable, production-ready components
- Prototype and experiment rapidly, validating concepts before they become part of the system
- Lead frontend best practices across accessibility, performance, animation, layout, and responsiveness
- Improve UI consistency and reduce regressions through systematic design, strong abstraction, and thoughtful tooling
- Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate design system components into workflows and codebases
- Create documentation, guidelines, and governance processes that help teams adopt and extend the system effectively
- Raise the overall quality bar for visual polish, interaction fidelity, and frontend craft across the company
- As we scale our product and engineering organization, the need for consistent, high-quality UI becomes critical
- A dedicated Design Engineer ensures we can continue to ship beautiful, intuitive experiences, while giving every team the tools and frameworks they need to move faster without compromising quality
- This role will be foundational in shaping our product’s visual identity, strengthening our design-engineering partnership, and building a consumer-grade experience that sets the industry standard
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 that supported 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.
