Company mission
To fundamentally transform mental healthcare accessibility.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience as an engineering manager, plus 6+ years as an IC in backend or iOS engineering. Experience building systems used by mental health or healthcare professionals is a plus
- Proven backend or iOS engineering leadership with focus on high quality experiences and user centric mindset
- Strong product sense with the ability to articulate vision and drive it to execution
- Demonstrated ability to deliver complex programs in ambiguous environments
- Highly data-driven decision-making approach
- Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership
- Experience building high-performance teams
- Founder's mindset: ownership, speed, scrappiness, problem-solving
- Established frameworks of force multiplication and leadership
- 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
What the job involves
- The Momentum team builds experiences that support our clients in their mental health journey outside of active care — the 167 hours a week they're not in a session
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a full-stack, product-focused team through the next phase of that work: taking us from 0 to 1 as we learn what clients actually need, then from 1 to 100 as we build out the capabilities that serve those needs
- This is a build-from-the-ground-up role. You'll drive the early architecture decisions for a team that's still defining its shape, lead a mix of backend and mobile engineers, and partner closely with product and design to shape what we build
- We're looking for someone excited about this product space who wants a real hand in defining Grow's inter-session strategy
- Momentum is early. The team was recently formed and is establishing its footing, so the person in this seat has real influence over the team's technical foundation, its culture, and the direction of the product itself
- You'll operate with meaningful ownership, move quickly, and see your work directly influence product direction, technical foundations, and patient support on a national scale
- Lead a full-stack team of backend and mobile engineers, hiring and growing them as the team scales from 0 to 1 to 100
- Drive early architecture decisions that will shape Momentum's technical foundation for years to come
- Help define and influence Grow's inter-session strategy, working with product to figure out what clients need between sessions
- Use data and client insight to guide decisions, measure impact, and adjust course quickly as we learn
- Develop frameworks for execution, prioritization, and operational excellence
- Create a team culture with strong operational rigor appropriate for a team that’s finding product-market fit
- Build and coach a high-performance team that excels in execution, communication, and problem-solving
- Represent Momentum and its work to the broader engineering organization alongside peer EMs and leaders
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.
