Job Description

About us: 

We’re on a mission to fundamentally transform mental healthcare accessibility. Grow Therapy empowers therapists to launch and grow thriving insurance-accepting private practices. We’re creating game-changing technology to build America’s biggest behavioral healthcare group and ensure that anyone can afford quality mental healthcare. Following the mass increase in depression and anxiety, the need for accessibility is more important than ever.

To make our vision for mental healthcare a reality, we’re building a team of entrepreneurs and mission-driven go-getters. Our founders come from Harvard Medical School, Stripe, and Blackstone, and are champions of balancing bold ambitions with a culture that promotes holistic well-being. Since launching in 2020, Grow has raised over $90M from top VCs and angel investors, including TCV, Transformation Capital, SignalFire, Village Global, CoFound, and leaders of Oscar, Nurx, Quartet, Airbnb, and Blackstone.

About the Role
As an early engineer at Grow, you’ll have a huge amount of scope and autonomy. You get to see a number of different product surface areas (provider portal, marketplace, client experience, infrastructure, and enabling operations) in addition to focusing on the backend system and services that make our partnerships run.
 
What you'll do
  • Optimizing search ranking and performance at scale to surface providers who accept many different insurance types, have unique backgrounds, and have differing amounts of availability.
  • Iterating upon existing APIs to allow patients looking for care via 3rd party directories to book on our platform.
  • Building tooling to automate ingestion of referrals from larger insurance conglomerates in an effort to expand care outside of organic search.
Who you are
  • 3+ years in engineering. You’ve built and scaled systems, made complex engineering decisions, and have proved out your technical skills in industry.
  • Web development experience. You have experience working with APIs, web frameworks, and at least one backend language.
  • Entrepreneurial spirit. You have worked in a startup or on your own side projects and built products from the ground up.
  • Product thinker. You want to build through a user-centric lens and be involved not only in engineering decisions but product and design decisions as well.
  • Leader. You’ll do anything to achieve your goal. You know how to think on the fly and persist through setbacks and roadblocks and to motivate your teammates to do the same.
  • Team Player. You are collaborative by nature, relish in camaraderie and group wins, and are looked to by colleagues as a steadfast partner and source of encouragement
  • Highly Motivated. You want ownership of your work.
Bonus Points
  • Experience with GraphQL
  • Experience with Python and Flask
  • Interesting side projects!
Engineering team principles
  • You own what you build. You will feel ownership of the code you write, articulate the importance of the feature, and follow up to ensure it's successful.
  • We build solutions for our providers and clients. We write code to solve user problems, not just for the sake of solving technical problems.
  • You are not part of the tech team, but rather part of the team itself! Grow is a tech-enabled business and not a pure software business, so understanding how the business works is integral to your job.

The salary range for this position is $167 - 189K per year. 

Benefits

  • The chance to drive impact within the mental healthcare landscape from day one
  • Comprehensive health insurance plans, including dental and vision
  • Our dedication to mental health guides our culture. Wellness benefits include (but are not limited to):
    • Flexible working hours and location (remote OR in-office, your choice!)
    • Generous PTO 
    • Company-wide winter break 
    • Mental health mornings (2 hours each week)
    • Team meditation
    • Wellness Stipend
    • In-office lunch and biweekly remote lunch on us! 
  • Continuous learning opportunities 
  • Competitive salary 
  • The opportunity to help build a rapidly scaling start-up organization by taking strong ownership of your work, mentorship, and our unbounded leadership opportunities
