About the role
Architect and own the cloud platform that every engineer at Headway deploys on. Make deploys boring, scaling automatic, infrastructure self-serve, and cost attributable. You will own the cloud platform Headway runs on. You will lead the work to isolate blast radius, make autoscaling trustworthy, and build a self-serve infrastructure platform so that the Infrastructure Engineering team focuses on the strategic and unusual, not the routine.
What they're looking for
- 8 or more years in platform, infrastructure, or SRE roles at companies running significant production traffic
- Deep AWS expertise and production ownership of compute and networking at scale (ECS, EKS, RDS, networking, IAM)
- Strong infrastructure-as-code experience, particularly Terraform, including designing self-serve platforms for other engineering teams
- Hands-on autoscaling and capacity engineering, and container orchestration with ECS and/or EKS
- Track record making deploys safe and self-serve for other teams, not just your own
- Staff-level influence: you drive decisions across team boundaries and raise the infrastructure bar org-wide without requiring management authority to do it
More about this role
1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.
But we're going further. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.
We're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.
