Role
Who you are
- You have 8+ years of software engineering experience with 5+ years leading engineering teams, including hands-on experience building AI/ML infrastructure, LLM-powered systems, or agentic workflows
- You have strong technical depth in AI/ML infrastructure: you've built or operated pipelines, embedding systems, retrieval layers, or orchestration frameworks in production
- You bring excellent cross-functional leadership: you're equally effective in a technical design review and a working group with clinical, legal, or business stakeholders
- You operate with a founder's mindset: you bring structure to ambiguity, move fast, and build systems designed to scale beyond your direct involvement
- You're a strong communicator who can translate technical decisions into clear business impact for senior leadership and non-technical partners
- If you’re excited about this role but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply
What the job involves
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Grow's newly formed AI Enablement Tech Team, the central engine behind the company's AI strategy. Alongside a dedicated PM, you'll own the company-wide AI roadmap, build the foundational infrastructure every function depends on, and drive end-to-end delivery of our most complex AI use cases
- You'll lead a executive-aligned engineering team and run an ongoing cross-functional working group with AI Champions across the organization. This is a rare opportunity to define how AI works at Grow, not just for engineering, but for the entire company
- Own the technical strategy and execution of Grow's company-wide AI roadmap, sequencing infrastructure investments and use cases against company-level impact in close partnership with the PM
- Build and operate core AI infrastructure: data pipelines, model access, embeddings, retrieval layers, and governance frameworks, with PHI compliance as a non-negotiable constraint
- Architect and maintain the connector layer (MCPs, integrations, and APIs) that enables agentic workflows across every business function
- Lead delivery of high-priority, complex AI use cases requiring close Product and Engineering collaboration (e.g. Grow LLM, AI-assisted care workflows)
- Drive AI vendor governance: procurement decisions, contracts, and a cross-company tool registry that prevents redundant spend and ungoverned tooling
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.
