Job Description

About Us:

Grow was born to tackle a critical challenge: making mental health care more effective and accessible for everyone. Since launching in 2020, 15 million sessions have started on Grow, and we've barely scratched the surface. We do it through a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Every solution we build reveals ten more waiting to be delivered, and that's just what gets us going. We've backed that ambition with more than $328M in funding, including our Series D at a $3B valuation from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, Menlo Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and others.

At Grow, the work you do can literally change someone's life. Your work here doesn't stay on a screen; it impacts whether someone can find, afford, and access quality care. That ambition sets us apart, and offers you an endless runway to impact one of the world's most urgent issues. We don’t have passenger seats here. Everyone is driving something that matters.

This work deserves real commitment. So if you thrive on meeting problems head on, untangling serious complexity, and working at pace with the sharpest yet kindest people around, you've come to the right place.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Full Stack Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve the systems that power Grow Therapy's platform. In this role, you'll work across the stack to design, implement, and ship features that directly impact how clients and providers connect, communicate, and access care.

You'll join a collaborative, product-focused engineering organization where technical work is closely tied to learning, iteration, and real-world outcomes. This role is ideal for an engineer who takes pride in writing clean, maintainable code, thinks deeply about system behavior, and is energized by the opportunity to grow alongside a fast-moving team.

Why This Role Matters

Access to mental healthcare in America is still deeply fragmented and Grow Therapy is building the platform to fix that. We connect clients, providers, and health plans in a single integrated system, and the software our engineers ship directly shapes whether people can find and afford the care they need.

We're growing fast - nearly 22,000 clinicians, over 1.4 million clients, and on track to surpass 10 million sessions in 2026 and we see ourselves as a generational company with a long way still to go. Engineers who join now have a real opportunity to build systems that matter at meaningful scale.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, implement, and ship customer-facing features that span frontend and backend systems
• Own the full lifecycle of your work - from scoping and implementation through testing, deployment, and iteration
• Contribute to and improve core platform systems, including those related to discovery, scheduling, transactions, and user experience
• Implement and support A/B tests and experiments, from hypothesis through measurement and rollout
• Investigate, triage, and resolve production incidents and complex cross-system bugs
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable production code and take an active role in code reviews
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Data to deliver well-scoped, measurable solutions
• Participate in technical discussions and contribute to architectural decisions within your team

You'll Be a Good Fit If You Have

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Experience building and maintaining production systems at scale
• Comfortable working across backend APIs and frontend interfaces, with hands-on experience in Python and modern React/TypeScript
• Experience working on systems where data quality, correctness, and performance matter
• Strong execution skills and the ability to deliver scoped work independently
• Curiosity and a willingness to learn complex systems and new problem domains
• A product-minded approach - you understand how technical decisions impact user experience and business outcomes
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of working closely with cross-functional partners including Product, Design, and Data Science
• Experience using AI-assisted dev tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor)
• A bias toward ownership, speed, learning, and continuous improvement

Team Descriptions

New Markets & Model - The New Markets & Models team drives Grow’s next phase of growth by validating and scaling new business models and complex partnerships.

Care Quality - The Care Quality team builds the data and workflows Grow uses to prove and improve the clinical quality of care to payors and partners.

Client Engagement - The Client Engagement team owns the experiences that keep clients connected between and across sessions—web and app surfaces, notifications, and core journeys. As a Software Engineer on this team, you’ll ship features that help clients stay on track with care plans, manage appointments, and stay engaged long after their first visit.

Coverage & Payments Experience - The Payments Experience team owns the client-facing financial journey, from eligibility checks and cost estimates to charging cards and handling balances.
