About us:
Grow Therapy is on a mission to serve as the trusted partner for therapists growing their practice, and patients accessing high-quality care. Powered by technology, we are a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Following the mass increase in depression and anxiety, the need for accessibility is more important than ever. To make our vision for mental healthcare a reality, we’re building a team of entrepreneurs and mission-driven go-getters. Since launching in February 2021, we’ve empowered more than ten thousand therapists and hundreds of thousands of clients across the country and insurance landscape. We’ve raised more than $178mm of funding from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, and others.
About the Role:
As an early engineer at Grow, you’ll have a huge amount of scope and autonomy. You get to see a number of different product surface areas (provider portal, marketplace, client experience, infrastructure, and enabling operations) in addition to working full-stack (Flask/Python on the backend, React/TypeScript on the frontend, infrastructure on AWS).
What you'll be doing:
We have multiple roles open. Some examples of projects you may work on include:
-
Making a robust cost estimation and eligibility checking platform - You’ll pull in data from different sources and implement the logic and infrastructure that allows us to give cost estimates for every insurance type our providers accept.
-
Creating a world-class note-taking experience for providers - Notes are where our providers spend most of their day! You’ll own the full-stack experience of notes syncing, intelligent prefilling, and caching notes to create a best-in-class experience.
-
Optimizing search ranking and performance at scale - there are thousands of providers who accept many different insurance types, have unique backgrounds, and differing amounts of availability. Help us create a search algorithm that matches clients with the right therapist for them!
The salary range for this position is $168,000 - $220,000 USD.
Please note, Grow Therapy adjusts base salary based on geographic location, leveling, and experience, so your compensation could land anywhere within the posted range.

-
4+ years in engineering. You’ve built and scaled systems, made complex engineering decisions, and have proved out your technical skills in industry.
-
Full-stack web development experience. You have experience working with REST APIs, web frameworks, an understanding of HTML, CSS, JS and at least one backend language.
-
Entrepreneurial spirit. You have worked in a startup or on your own side projects and built products from the ground up.
-
Product thinker. You want to build through a user-centric lens and be involved not only in engineering decisions but product and design decisions as well.
-
Leader. You’ll do anything to achieve your goal. You know how to think on the fly and persist through setbacks and roadblocks and to motivate your teammates to do the same.
-
Team Player. You are collaborative by nature, relish in camaraderie and group wins, and are looked to by colleagues as a steadfast partner and source of encouragement
-

Bonus Points:
-
Experience with React, TypeScript, and GraphQL

Interesting side projects!
Engineering team principles:
-
You own what you build. You will feel ownership of the code you write, articulate the importance of the feature, and follow up to ensure it's successful.
-
We build solutions for our providers and clients. We write code to solve user problems, not just for the sake of solving technical problems.
-
You are not part of the tech team, but rather part of the team itself! Grow is a tech-enabled business and not a pure software business, so understanding how the business works is integral to your job.

What We Do
We see technology not as a layer on top of care, but as the connective tissue that helps it grow.
Grow Therapy is an online therapy platform that helps you find a therapist who gets you—and takes your insurance. Grow was founded to create end-to-end systems that make therapy easier on both sides: helping therapists launch and grow thriving private practices by removing the friction of credentialing, billing, and insurance, so they can focus on care, and helping clients actually find and afford it.
Our founders come from Harvard Medical School, Stripe, and Blackstone, and bring Grow’s mission to life from the inside out, pairing bold vision with a culture of balance, belonging, and whole-person wellness.
We believe change starts by empowering therapists. Grow’s smart platform helps independent providers build sustainable practices by handling credentialing, billing, and referrals, so they can focus on what matters. With business tools, a supportive clinical community, and opportunities like CE events and speaking engagements, Grow helps therapists practice with more autonomy and less administrative strain, reducing no-shows, increasing demand, and creating more space for care.
We then help people find those licensed therapists who reflect their lived experience, whether that means shared racial or cultural background, language, identity, or life stage. Our platform makes it easy to search by specialty, availability, and insurance so clients can book care that fits their life and budget.
Today, Grow supports thousands of therapists and prescribers across all 50 states and has delivered care to over 1 million clients. We’re in-network with 100+ major insurers, including Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and UnitedHealthcare, and have raised more than $178M from leading investors like Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, TCV, Transformation Capital, SignalFire, and Plus Capital.
We believe in benefits that support the whole you. That means two hours each week to care for your mental health, free access to therapy through Grow, $500 learning and $300 wellness stipends, a $1,000 remote office setup, free in-office meals, and flexible PTO with a paid December recharge week.
We’re building the future of mental healthcare and that starts with how we care for our own team. If you’re excited by bold challenges and meaningful impact, Grow with us.
Why Work With Us
At Grow Therapy, we believe well-being isn’t just a perk—it’s part of how we work. From clinicians to engineers, every voice helps shape the care we build. Our mission-driven team is rethinking mental health care, supported by flexible PTO, paid winter recharge, mental health breaks, no-cost therapy through our platform, and wellness perks.
