## About the role

We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

- We’re looking for experienced engineers who have the ability to deal with ambiguity and learn new technologies and systems. Below are some additional experiences we think help engineers succeed at Headway
- A systems thinker who holds the architecture of a complex, multi-vendor platform and guides the team through it
- An engineer who has shipped high-throughput, event-driven systems in production and knows what reliability requires
- A communicator who translates technical trade-offs for non-technical stakeholders and drives alignment across marketing, product, and engineering
- Genuinely excited about the intersection of AI and communications — and thoughtful about what makes AI-in-the-loop systems reliable at scale
- A leader who earns influence through technical depth and leaves teams more capable than they found them
