Role
Who you are
- You have proven hands-on experience managing and improving core IT infrastructure – Okta, MDMs, Google, Slack, and other SaaS platforms – with an emphasis on reliability, scalability, and security
- You have a strong track record of leading technical projects end-to-end, from requirements gathering through implementation, rollout, and long-term maintenance, preferably in fast-moving or high-growth environments
- You’re proficient with modern tools and technologies that enhance IT operations (e.g., AI and automation tools, scripting, cloud services), and you know how to apply them pragmatically to reduce repetitive work and improve system performance
- You bring solid scripting or programming skills (Python or similar), especially for integrating systems via APIs, streamlining workflows, and enabling better visibility, control, and consistency across the IT stack
- 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
- We are looking for a Senior IT Engineer to help us scale and transform the IT processes for Grow Therapy, and who will work on systems integration, scalable infrastructure improvements, and workflow automation
- You’ll be part of a remote-friendly team of six IT professionals reporting directly into the Director of IT
- Design, implement, and maintain core IT infrastructure systems, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security across identity, device, network, and SaaS environments
- Lead cross-functional technical initiatives by gathering requirements from IT Support, Security, HR, and business stakeholders to deliver solutions that reduce operational overhead and improve overall system performance and consistency
- Evaluate, select, and apply appropriate technologies – such as scripting, configuration management, cloud services, integration tools, and emerging automation platforms – to solve infrastructure and business process challenges
- Own technical documentation, change management processes, and rollout planning to ensure systems are well-documented, auditable, and aligned with IT governance and compliance expectations. Strong project leadership and communication skills are essential
- Continuously monitor and improve the IT environment by identifying bottlenecks, reliability issues, and opportunities to enhance scalability, standardization, and operational efficiency
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.
