Role
Who you are
- You have 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 4+ years leading engineering teams and at least 2+ years managing iOS or mobile-focused teams
- You have strong iOS technical depth — you understand Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI, mobile architecture patterns, and can engage deeply with your team on technical decisions
- You have a track record of shipping polished, high-quality mobile experiences at scale in a consumer or marketplace environment
- You bring a product engineering mindset — you deeply understand user needs and translate them into delightful, high-performance mobile experiences
- You've scaled teams through rapid growth — you know how to hire, onboard, and develop engineers while maintaining quality and velocity
- You have exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills, including the ability to influence non-technical stakeholders
- You operate with a founder's mindset — ownership, speed, scrappiness, resilience, and a bias toward action
- You are passionate about building high-performance teams and developing engineers into future leaders
- Research shows that some groups hesitate to apply unless they meet every qualification. If you’re excited about this role but don’t check every box, we encourage you to apply. At Grow, we value diverse experiences, transferable skills, and the unique strengths each person brings
What the job involves
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and scale Grow Therapy's iOS engineering team. You'll own the technical vision, people strategy, and execution for our mobile platform — building consumer-grade experiences that help millions of clients access mental healthcare, and thousands of providers manage thriving practices
- As an Engineering Manager within our engineering leadership team, you'll build and develop a high-performance iOS team, drive the technical strategy for our mobile platform, and partner closely with Product, Design, and cross-functional stakeholders to shape what gets built
- This role sits at the intersection of mobile craft, product thinking, and engineering leadership. You'll bring clarity to ambiguity, raise the bar for iOS quality, and create an environment where engineers do their best work
- This is a rare opportunity to define the mobile experience for the future of mental healthcare — building the kind of polished, intuitive app that makes care accessible at a national scale
- Define and own the long-term technical vision and strategy for the iOS platform, ensuring our mobile experience is on par with the best consumer apps (Airbnb, Uber, Duolingo)
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 8 - 9 iOS engineers — raising the bar for craft, code quality, performance, and mobile UX
- Partner with Product and Design leadership to shape the mobile roadmap, ensuring engineering influences direction and doesn't just execute
- Drive high-quality, high-velocity shipping with strong operational frameworks for planning, prioritization, and delivery excellence
- Build scalable mobile architecture — owning decisions around app performance, offline capabilities, release management, CI/CD, and platform tooling
- Use data to guide decisions, instrument systems, measure impact, and continuously optimize the iOS experience
- Execute on performance management — coach engineers on day-to-day challenges and long-term career development, maintain standards of excellence, and recognize outperformance
- Foster a welcoming, collaborative, high-trust team culture with low non-regrettable attrition, even in a remote-first environment
- Contribute to the broader engineering organization by collaborating with peer Senior EMs and leaders on org-wide initiatives and engineering culture
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.
