Job description

Our mission: eliminating every barrier to mental health.

Spring Health is a global mental health company on a mission to eliminate every barrier to mental health. We're building a world where getting support is simple, personal, and built around the person, so care can continue through every job, move, health plan, and life stage.

Our AI-native platform helps us deliver personalized support across self-guided tools, coaching, therapy, medication management, and specialty care. With outcomes independently validated by JAMA Network Open and the Validation Institute, Spring Health reaches more than 170 million people worldwide through leading employers, health plans, and partners.

As an AI-native company, we believe technology should expand the reach, quality, and humanity of care. Every Spring Health team member is expected to use AI tools thoughtfully, apply human judgment to AI outputs, and keep building AI fluency in ways that support their role and our mission.

Reporting to Senior Engineering Manager, Platform Core Services, you will help build and maintain the shared platform services that our client engineering teams use to deliver solutions for their customers and end users. The Platform Core Services team owns foundational capabilities such as Auth, User Sync, Composer, and other shared services.

• Proactively clarify requirements to remove ambiguity; identify and mitigate risks before they become blockers.
• Deliver features independently on well-scoped work; support larger multi-person projects with consistent execution.
