Grow Therapy · Technology

Pay: $50 per hour
Where: New York City
Posted: Sep 22

Grow was born to tackle a critical challenge: making mental health care more effective and accessible for everyone. Since launching in 2020, 15 million sessions have started on Grow, and we've barely scratched the surface. We do it through a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Every solution we build reveals ten more waiting to be delivered, and that's just what gets us going. We've backed that ambition with more than $328M in funding, including our Series D at a $3B valuation from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, Menlo Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and others.

At Grow, the work you do can literally change someone's life. Your work here doesn't stay on a screen; it impacts whether someone can find, afford, and access quality care.

What you'd do

You’re building a strong technical foundation: You’re currently enrolled in a bachelor’s or master’s degree program in computer science, software engineering, or a related field, with an expected graduation date of Fall 2027 or Spring 2028.
Through coursework or hands-on experience, you’ve developed familiarity with data structures, algorithms, software design, and at least one general-purpose programming language.
Experience with Python, TypeScript, React, or similar technologies is helpful but not required.
You use AI tools with judgment: You’re comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to generate, debug, and verify code while thinking critically about correctness, privacy, security, and impact. (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or similar)
You show potential through practice: You’ve applied your skills through projects, research, hackathons, open-source contributions, student organizations, an internship or co-op, or other hands-on experiences.
You bring a high bar and high care: You value quality and attention to detail while treating teammates with kindness, honesty, and respect.
You build for the people we serve: You stay close to client, provider, and health-plan needs and bring urgency to work that can improve access to mental healthcare.
Own a meaningful project that goes into production, becomes part of our product, and improves the client and provider experience.

Investigate bugs, evaluate tradeoffs, and use data and customer context to improve your solution
