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
We’re looking for a highly product-driven, execution-oriented Staff  Engineer to define and own the technical vision for our marketplace and provider experience systems. As a senior leader on the Match Success team, you’ll build the backend systems, workflows, and intelligence that enable clients and providers to connect seamlessly and form long-lasting care relationships.
 
You’ll architect and deliver the next generation of marketplace matching - leveraging personalization, semantic search, applied AI, and scalable service design. This role operates at the intersection of product, engineering, provider success, and quality. You will bring clarity to ambiguity, drive technical strategy, and scale a high-performance engineering culture with a founder’s mindset.
 
This is a rare opportunity to help build the “Uber/Airbnb of healthcare” and create the marketplace that makes care accessible at national scale.
 
Why This Role Matters
Match Success is responsible for helping clients find the right provider and build long-term therapeutic relationships. Your work will directly shape how care is delivered and accessed nationwide. We’re building a highly scalable, intelligent marketplace platform that will power the future of healthcare access by removing friction, improving personalization, and enabling millions of people to receive the care they deserve.

  • Strong architectural and technical sense - able to define a vision, influence direction, and drive execution.
  • Proven ability to deliver complex, ambiguous projects that span multiple teams and stakeholders.
  • Highly data-driven mindset, comfortable with experimentation, measurement, and optimization.
  • Exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership, including influencing non-technical stakeholders.
  • A track record of multiplying talent, mentoring engineers, and creating high-performance environments.
