Senior Engineering Manager (Provider CX & Group Practices Product)

Position Overview

• Location Type: Remote
• Employment Type: Full-time
• Salary: Not specified

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.

About Engineering at Headway

Building a new mental healthcare system at Headway is only possible because of the scale and leverage that software can provide. The engineering team at Headway is a small (~85) but mighty team using technology to build that future (and have a fun time while doing it!).

Principles that guide us:

• Focus on the mission: We view software as a means of effecting change in the world, not as an end unto itself. We write software to empower our patients and therapists to better solve the problems they’re facing.
• Ship small, learn fast: We are building new and novel products and believe that we learn what our users need by quickly shipping and iteration.
• Everything is a product: Whether it's our patient search experience or a developer productivity improvement, we treat everything we build at Headway as a product with end-users in mind.
• Optimize for trust: We believe that engineers should be continually learning. To learn effectively and to be productive, engineers must feel safe asking questions and discussing mistakes.

Tools We Use

• Languages: Python 3, TypeScript
• Libraries: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, React
• Datastores: Postgres, Redis, DynamoDB
• Infrastructure: AWS (Fargate, ECS, S3, and more), Spark, Flink, and Kafka
• Monitoring: Datadog, PagerDuty
• Version control: Github

About this Role

There is a lot that we’re building at Headway, but a delightful and great user experience for the 48,000+ mental healthcare providers using headway to manage and grow their practice is at the crux of our mission. As we embark on an ambitious 2025, we’re expanding or launching multiple engineering where your product engineering leadership could make a measurable impact in enabling therapists to more effectively run their practice, provide care and serve their patients.
