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.
Building a new mental healthcare system at Headway is only possible because of the scale and leverage that software can provide.

Have scripted and automated your way out of repetitive work – comfortable with Bash, Python, or an iPaaS tool like Tray.io, Tines.
Lean AI-forward actively experimenting with how AI can level up endpoint operations, from triage to remediation to documentation
Are stakeholder-savvy and have partnered cross functionally to ship high impact endpoint changes such as OS patches, or large scale endpoint software deployments.
Have built or operated BYOD programs, and endpoint security and compliance controls in a regulated environment — HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST, or similar — and can speak to device trust, attestation, and posture management.
