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.

The Opportunity

Our internal Platform team’s mission is to unlock the full potential of our product engineering organization by providing an internal developer platform that increases autonomy and amplifies productivity—eliminating friction while ensuring security, compliance, and resiliency at scale.

We’re hiring a Senior Engineer to join our dynamic and talented platform team to help build the internal developer ecosystem powering Grow’s next-generation mental healthcare platform. You’ll join a mission-driven team where engineering decisions have broad organizational impact and directly support Grow’s goal of making affordable mental health care more accessible across the U.S.

As a Platform engineer, you’ll tackle complex challenges spanning AWS cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes (EKS) operations, CI / CD pipelines, and the tooling, automations, and workflows that drive Grow’s engineering velocity.

As a Senior-level engineer, you’ll lead projects within large-scale initiatives that cross organizational boundaries. You’ll share ownership of key areas of our platform roadmap and collaborate closely with your teammates to deliver capabilities that improve development speed, reliability, and scalability.

Why This Role Is Exciting

As a Senior Engineer on our Platform team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to help shape how our entire organization builds and ships software—driving faster, safer, and more reliable delivery at scale. You’ll join a talented, highly collaborative team of engineers whose work expands access to high-quality mental healthcare for millions of Americans.
