This role is ideal for an experienced engineering leader with a strong technical background in Python and React who thrives in mission-driven, high-growth environments. You should have at least 3 years of people management experience and 3-5 years as an individual contributor. Headway is looking for "product-minded" managers who care as much about user experience and clinical impact as they do about code quality and system design. The compensation is highly competitive ($190k - $237.5k) and includes equity in a well-funded Series D startup. The benefits package is standout, offering a week-long holiday break, 16 weeks of parental leave, and therapy reimbursement. While the role is remote, it offers a collaborative environment with a small initial pod (2–3 engineers) that you will scale over time. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have managed engineering teams in a fast-paced, experimentation-heavy startup environment. * Are comfortable navigating the intersection of healthcare and technology (HealthTech experience is a plus). * Enjoy partnering with Product and Design to define roadmaps and acquisition strategies. * Prefer a "ship small, learn fast" philosophy over long, rigid development cycles.
Headway’s mission is a big one – 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 60,000 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.
