Job description

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 $328Mm in funding, including our Series D, at a $3B valuation from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, Menlo Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and others.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and scale Grow Therapy's iOS engineering team. You'll own the technical vision, people strategy, and execution for our mobile platform — building consumer-grade experiences that help millions of clients access mental healthcare, and thousands of providers manage thriving practices.

As an Engineering Manager within our engineering leadership team, you'll build and develop a high-performance iOS team, drive the technical strategy for our mobile platform, and partner closely with Product, Design, and cross-functional stakeholders to shape what gets built. This role sits at the intersection of mobile craft, product thinking, and engineering leadership. You'll bring clarity to ambiguity, raise the bar for iOS quality, and create an environment where engineers do their best work.

This is a rare opportunity to define the mobile experience for the future of mental healthcare — building the kind of polished, intuitive app that makes care accessible at a national scale.

What You'll Be Doing

• Define and own the long-term technical vision and strategy for the iOS platform, ensuring our mobile experience is on par with the best consumer apps (Airbnb, Uber, Duolingo)
• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 8 - 9 iOS engineers — raising the bar for craft, code quality, performance, and mobile UX
• Partner with Product and Design leadership to shape the mobile roadmap, ensuring engineering influences direction and doesn't just execute
• Drive high-quality, high-velocity shipping with strong operational frameworks for planning, prioritization, and delivery excellence
• Build scalable mobile architecture — owning decisions around app performance, offline capabilities, release management, CI/CD, and platform tooling
• Use data to guide decisions, instrument systems, measure impact, and continuously optimize the iOS experience
• Execute on performance management — coach engineers on day-to-day challenges and long-term career development, maintain standards of excellence, and recognize outperformance
• Foster a welcoming, collaborative, high-trust team culture with low non-regrettable attrition, even in a remote-first environment
• Contribute to the broader engineering organization by collaborating with peer EMs and leaders on org-wide initiatives and engineering culture

You'll Be a Good Fit If

• You have 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 4+ years leading engineering teams and at least 2+ years managing iOS or mobile-focused teams
• You have strong iOS technical depth — you understand Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI, mobile architecture patterns, and can engage deeply with your team on technical decisions
• You have a track record of shipping polished, high-quality mobile experiences at scale in a consumer or marketplace environment
• You bring a product engineering mindset — you deeply understand user needs and translate them into delightful, high-performance mobile experiences
• You've scaled teams through rapid growth — you know how to hire, onboard, and develop engineers while maintaining quality and velocity
• You have exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills, including the ability to influence non-technical stakeholders
• You operate with a founder's mindset — ownership, speed, scrappiness, resilience, and a bias toward action
• You are passionate about building high-performance teams and developing engineers into future leaders

Role Details:

• Employment Type: Full Time, Exempt
• Base Compensation: $225,000–$300,000 USD Annually

Work Arrangement: Hybrid, with required in-office presence 3 days per week at our San Francisco, New York, or Seattle office. This role also includes travel 2–3 times per year for company and department offsites.

Full Time Employee Benefits:

• Grow for Grow: No cost access to therapy through the Grow platform (available to US employees)
• Financial Wellness: Retirement savings programs and equity opportunities to help you invest in your future.

• Parental Leave: Up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave to support you and your growing family and a new child stipend.
• Mental Health Mornings/Afternoons: Dedicated weekly flexible time for self care, whether that's therapy, exercise, journaling, time with family, or simply taking a break.

• Commuter Benefits: Pre tax commuter benefits to support teammates working from one of our hub locations.
• Home Office & Meals: Support for your home workspace plus meal benefits, with offerings tailored to both remote and hub based employees.
