Headway’s mission is to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance.
1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the majority of providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access by making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice.
Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 45,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.
We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.
Reporting to Headway’s Director of Security, you’ll have the opportunity to build and grow a world-class engineering team focused on securing the products and applications that power Headway. You’ll own our approach to application security, secure software development, and product-integrated security strategy across all aspects of Headway’s services, systems, and user experiences.
Your team will be responsible for driving application-layer and product security efforts at scale. You’ll lead the development of security features, tooling, and programs that enable our product and engineering teams to ship secure code and protect sensitive data throughout the software development lifecycle. You’ll build and grow a pod through strategic planning, recruiting/hiring, people development, leading high-impact initiatives, and reporting on outcomes.
Your work will be deeply cross-functional, partnering closely with product, platform, and core engineering teams. You’ll help teams bake security into product design, introduce secure-by-default tools and practices, and enable scalable threat modeling, secure coding, and proactive vulnerability management. You’ll also collaborate with IT, infrastructure, and compliance teams to align product security goals with broader organizational risk and trust objectives.
