1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.

But we're going further. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.

We're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. 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 but mighty team using technology to build that future (and have a fun time while doing it!).

• 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 therapist 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.

About this role

This role sits at the intersection of growth, product development, and marketing. You'll have the freedom to innovate and experiment while collaborating with a diverse group of cross-functional partners from across the company. This is an opportunity to tackle complex, rewarding problems in a highly collaborative, supportive environment that values technical excellence and operational rigor. You'll build systems that help patients discover and access mental health care, directly improving lives and transforming the healthcare landscape. Your work in this role will shape how thousands of patients connect with care, making a lasting impact on Headway's mission to reimagine mental healthcare access for all.

As an engineering leader at Headway, you will be responsible for leading and growing the team behind these core growth initiatives through people development, strategic planning, and hands-on technical support. You'll play a leading role in defining what and how these systems are built, setting up how the team operates, and ultimately driving best-in-class experiences that convert interest into action.

This is a critical leadership role for Headway and our mission to make mental healthcare more accessible.

Provider Growth Pod

Supporting providers isn't just about connecting them with patients — it starts much earlier, with helping them discover Headway and understand the value we provide. Our providers are at the heart of Headway's mission — and enabling more of them to join our platform is critical to expanding access to care. This role is focused on building the tools, systems, and experiences that help providers learn about Headway, express interest, and begin their journey. From our referral engine and AI-assisted marketing experiences to intelligent lead capture, scoring, and routing infrastructure, you'll be responsible for the end-to-end technical foundation that drives provider acquisition. That includes building systems where AI helps personalize how providers discover and evaluate Headway — not just pushing traffic, but converting the right providers at the right moment. By helping more providers discover, trust, and join Headway, you'll directly impact both provider supply and patient access.
