What the job involves
- We're hiring a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve the systems that power Grow Therapy's platform
- In this role, you'll work across the stack to design, implement, and ship features that directly impact how clients and providers connect, communicate, and access care
- You'll join a collaborative, product-focused engineering organization where technical work is closely tied to learning, iteration, and real-world outcomes
- This role is ideal for an engineer who takes pride in writing clean, maintainable code, thinks deeply about system behavior, and is energized by the opportunity to grow alongside a fast-moving team
- Design, implement, and ship customer-facing features that span frontend and backend systems
- Own the full lifecycle of your work - from scoping and implementation through testing, deployment, and iteration
- Contribute to and improve core platform systems, including those related to discovery, scheduling, transactions, and user experience
- Implement and support A/B tests and experiments, from hypothesis through measurement and rollout
- Investigate, triage, and resolve production incidents and complex cross-system bugs
- Write clean, well-tested, maintainable production code and take an active role in code reviews
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Data to deliver well-scoped, measurable solutions
- Participate in technical discussions and contribute to architectural decisions within your team
- New Markets & Model - The New Markets & Models team drives Grow’s next phase of growth by validating and scaling new business models and complex partnerships
- As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll build the flexible, greenfield systems that power early-stage referral channels, novel reimbursement structures, and experimental care models before they become part of the core platform
- Care Quality - The Care Quality team builds the data and workflows Grow uses to prove and improve the clinical quality of care to payors and partners
- As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll develop systems that capture measures, structure documentation, and surface insights so we can demonstrate outcomes and power value-based partnerships
- Client Activation – The Client Activation team owns the fragile moments between booking and a client’s first few sessions, making starting care feel clear, reliable, and supportive
- As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll build and harden systems for scheduling, authentication, notifications, and early-journey flows that directly determine whether clients show up, come back for visit two, and build lasting relationships with their providers
- Client Engagement - The Client Engagement team owns the experiences that keep clients connected between and across sessions—web and app surfaces, notifications, and core journeys
- As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll ship features that help clients stay on track with care plans, manage appointments, and stay engaged long after their first visit
- Coverage & Payments Experience - The Payments Experience team owns the client-facing financial journey, from eligibility checks and cost estimates to charging cards and handling balances
- As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll build systems that make insurance coverage understandable, reduce billing surprises, and keep the money flow trustworthy for both clients and providers
- This is a hybrid role with the expectation to work onsite from our NYC, San Francisco, or Seattle hub location three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and travel 2–3 times per year (e.g., company and department offsites)
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.
