Opportunity

We're hiring a Software Engineer to help build and evolve the backend systems that power Grow Therapy's platform. In this role, you'll design, implement, and ship server-side features and services 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 reliability, scalability, and real-world outcomes.

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.
