Senior Software Engineer, Backend

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.

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.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own backend services and APIs end to end — from technical design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing reliability
• Drive architectural decisions within your team, bringing structure and clarity to complex, ambiguous problem spaces
• Lead improvements to core platform systems, including data pipelines, service reliability, and business logic
• Design and enable safe, repeatable experimentation through robust A/B testing and analysis workflows
• Diagnose and resolve data quality, performance, and correctness issues across systems
• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable production code and set a high bar through code reviews and technical mentorship
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and Data to translate goals into technical designs and execution plans
• Shape the technical direction of your team and contribute meaningfully to cross-team architectural discussions

Engineering Team Overview

• Marketplace Experience: Shapes how clients discover and evaluate providers on Grow, transforming a simple directory into a guided, personalized entry point to care.
• Client Activation: Owns the fragile moments between booking and a client’s first few sessions, making starting care feel clear, reliable, and supportive.
• Claims Engine: Powers Grow’s end-to-end insurance claim lifecycle, from claim creation through submission, remits, and denials.

Role Details

• Employment Type: Full Time, Exempt
• Base Compensation: The base compensation range for this position is $182,000 - $250,000 USD Annually. This is a hybrid role with the expectation to work onsite from our NYC, San Francisco, or Seattle hub location three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and travel 2–3 times per year (e.g., company and department offsites).

Full Time Employee Benefits

• Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus life and disability coverage.
• Parental Leave & Family Support: Up to 18 weeks paid leave and a new child stipend.
• Financial Wellness: 401(k) program and equity opportunities.
• Meals & Home Office Support: Stipends for home office setup and ongoing funds for meals, with tailored perks for both remote and in-office employees.
• Time Off to Recharge: Flexible PTO, 12 paid holidays, and a full winter break week.
• Wellness & Development: Annual stipends to put towards personal & professional growth.
• Mental & Physical Health Support: No-cost access to therapy through the Grow platform, weekly flexible hours for self-care (“Mental Health Mornings/Afternoons”) and memberships to leading wellness apps (such as One Medical, Headspace, and Talkspace).
• Extra Perks: Pet insurance discounts, commuter benefits, and global travel assistance.
