Company mission
To fundamentally transform mental healthcare accessibility.
Role
Who you are
- You have deep developer experience, developer productivity, or platform engineering experience where internal engineers were your customer, or you built developer tools as the product at a developer-tools company
- You have owned problems that only exist at scale: monorepo tooling, build systems (Bazel or similar), CI performance for large test suites, or test framework migrations, and you can speak to the before-and-after outcomes
- You think about developer tools with a product mindset, defining what success looks like up front and measuring adoption and developer satisfaction to know you've delivered it
- You think about developer tools with a product mindset, measuring adoption and developer satisfaction rather than shipping and hoping
- You are genuinely excited about AI development tooling and have opinions grounded in things you have built
- Bonus: Python ecosystem depth, GitHub Actions at scale, or prior experience driving standards across a 100+ engineer organization
- Bonus: you've built developer-facing AI tooling - coding agents, AI code review, LLM developer workflows, MCP - and have a grounded view of where it does and doesn't help
- 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
- Grow Therapy's Developer Experience team exists to make our ~120 engineers (and growing) measurably faster and happier
- We treat developer tools as a product: our customers are engineers, and everything we ship, from CI/CD and test infrastructure to build tooling and AI-native development workflows, is judged by whether it makes their day better
- We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to set technical direction for this work across the engineering organization
- The team is small, fully senior, and largely greenfield: the goals are set at the org level and tracked by our most senior technology leaders, but the project list is yours to discover
- Today, improvements to how teams build, test, and review code live in pockets
- The staff engineer on this team turns pockets into paved roads: identifying the bottlenecks that cost every engineer time, designing the standard, and driving adoption across teams that do not report to you
- This is a hands-on role on an AI-forward team
- We are actively building agentic developer workflows and expect AI to be the primary lever in how we climb from AI-assisted to AI-native development
- Own the highest-leverage developer-experience problems across engineering end to end, deciding which bottleneck is worth solving, designing the approach, and driving org-wide adoption
- Set and evolve engineering-wide standards for how teams build, test, and ship, and do the alignment work to make them stick as the org grows
- Making our large codebase fast to work in: build systems and monorepo tooling, CI/CD pipeline performance, test reliability and framework strategy
- Set the golden paths for how engineers work with AI, find the highest-leverage places to push it deeper into the development loop, and keep Grow at the front of a fast-moving space
- Drive the technical strategy for breaking up the monolith, from the incremental migration path to the test-isolation and build tooling that makes it possible at scale
- Embedding with product teams to understand their workflows firsthand, and treating their feedback as product input
- Raising the bar for the engineers around you through design review, mentorship, and the quality of your own shipped work
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.
