Engineering Manager (Patient Growth)

About Engineering at Headway

Building a new mental healthcare system at Headway is only possible because of the scale and leverage that software can provide. The engineering team at Headway is a small (~120) but mighty team using technology to build that future (and have a fun time while doing it!).

Principles that guide us :

• Focus on the mission : We view software as a means of effecting change in the world, not as an end unto itself. We write software to empower our patients and therapist to better solve the problems they’re facing.
• Ship small, learn fast : We are building new and novel products and believe that we learn what our users need by quickly shipping and iteration
• Everything is a product : Whether it's our patient search experience or a developer productivity improvement, we treat everything we build at Headway as a product with end-users in mind.
• Optimize for trust : We believe that engineers should be continually learning. To learn effectively and to be productive, engineers must feel safe asking questions and discussing mistakes.
