Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful ownership of production systems
- Strong backend engineering experience (Python preferred), including service design and data modeling
- Experience building or operating systems where reliability, data quality, and performance are critical
- Highly data-driven mindset, comfortable with experimentation, measurement, and optimization both from a product and technical perspective
- Proven ability to operate in ambiguous problem spaces and bring structure and clarity
- Product-minded approach with an understanding of how technical decisions impact user experience and business outcomes
- Ability to collaborate closely with cross-functional partners, including Product and Data Science
- A bias toward ownership, speed, learning, and continuous improvement
- 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 hiring a Senior Software Engineer II to play a key role in improving the reliability, scalability, and personalization of Grow’s marketplace experience
- This engineer will help shape the technical vision of the Marketplace Experience team while taking end-to-end ownership of how clients are matched with providers across our platform
- In this role, you’ll work across backend services, data pipelines, and experimentation infrastructure to ensure our marketplace is observable, resilient, and continuously improving
- You’ll join a high-impact team responsible for some of Grow’s most business-critical systems
- This role sits at the intersection of product, data, and engineering and is ideal for someone who enjoys operating in ambiguous problem spaces, driving clarity in complex systems, and contributing to long-term technical direction while still shipping meaningful improvements
- Grow’s marketplace is the backbone of how clients access care. As the business scales, the marketplace must evolve from a collection of incrementally improved systems into a well-designed, reliable, and extensible platform that supports personalization, experimentation, and rapid iteration
- This role is critical to that evolution. By owning marketplace systems end to end and helping shape technical direction, this engineer ensures that improvements to matching, personalization, and discovery are built on a foundation that is scalable, observable, and resilient
- Their work directly impacts client outcomes, provider success, and Grow’s ability to grow efficiently so we can continue on our goal of expanding access to high-quality mental healthcare for millions of Americans
- Own core marketplace systems end to end, including backend services, data inputs, and experimentation infrastructure
- Improve the reliability, performance, and observability of the marketplace surface area
- Build and evolve personalized marketplace experiences, including matching, search, and recommendation capabilities
- Partner closely with Product and Data Science to translate marketplace goals into technical designs and execution plans
- Diagnose and resolve data quality, performance, and correctness issues across systems
- Enable safe, repeatable experimentation through robust A/B testing and analysis workflows
- Use data deeply to instrument marketplace systems, measure impact, and continuously optimize marketplace performance and provider-client matching success
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.
