We’re just getting started—join us on our journey to make mental healthcare accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Reporting to the Director of Engineering, Stealth Venture, you will take on a high-visibility, high-impact role as a Senior Software Engineer for a new product initiative. In this key technical position within a 0-to-1 team, you’ll have the autonomy to drive technical decisions and influence the direction of product development. You'll collaborate closely with R&D leadership to design and execute high-priority projects that support our company’s mission of transforming mental healthcare.

This is a unique opportunity to be a foundational member of an empowered, purpose-driven team working on an innovative early-stage product. You will engage with a collaborative group focused on building solutions that make a lasting difference in mental healthcare.

What You Will Be Doing: 

• Lead a high-impact 0-1 product initiative, acting as a technical leader and contributing across various facets of engineering. Your role will offer autonomy to explore creative solutions and push the boundaries of what’s possible. 
• Work with a cross-functional team of product managers, designers, data scientists, and marketers to rapidly innovate, ensuring the product aligns with the company’s mission and goals.
• Partner with the GM, Engineering Manager, and CTO to establish technical standards, set a clear vision, and create scalable software architecture, all while having ownership over key decisions.
• Break down complex requirements into manageable, incremental deliverables, applying mastery of your craft to deliver high-quality work.
• Prioritize and manage project timelines, ensuring successful completion of deliverables while maintaining a high level of autonomy in day-to-day decision-making.
• Identify opportunities for process improvements and take initiative to drive leadership in these areas.
• Cultivate a deep understanding of our products, users, and the broader impact on mental healthcare, ensuring that your work is aligned with a clear sense of purpose.
• Quickly pivot and adapt solutions based on feedback or new insights, clearly communicating changes to your team and maintaining momentum.
• Manage risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs in complex project delivery, always keeping the larger mission in focus.
• Collaborate with a passionate, close-knit team on special projects, where you’ll experience autonomy, mastery, and purpose in every aspect of your work.

What success looks like in this role:

• Launch an innovative, high-impact mental health product within 5 quarters.
• Maintain and enhance strong engineering practices (e.g., minimizing code churn, improving cycle time, etc.).
• Build scalable architectures that support future growth and integrations.
• Elevate the standards of engineering excellence and delivery while fostering an environment that values autonomy and purpose.

What we expect from you: 

We are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer who values autonomy, mastery of their craft, and working on purposeful, impactful projects. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of 0-1 products and collaborate with an agile team to shape the future of Spring Health. Experience working with healthcare infrastructure, applied AI/ML, and/or early-stage startups is a plus.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer, with a proven track record of delivering successful products, ideally in healthcare.
• Deep understanding of modern healthcare SaaS platforms and their architecture.
• Ability to tackle cross-team challenges related to customer experience, quality, and security, using your mastery of engineering skills.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders, fostering a collaborative and purpose-driven environment.
• Strong ability to navigate ambiguity with a bias toward autonomy and decision-making.
• Experience in an early-stage startup environment. The ideal candidate will be comfortable in a high-growth, fast-paced setting where autonomy and mastery are valued.
• Preferred experience with AI/ML tools.
• Experience in mental health technology is preferred; experience in healthcare technology is required.
• Ability to identify and prevent decisions that could hinder long-term success.

The target base salary range for this position is $159,100 - $194,150, and is part of a competitive total rewards package including stock options and benefits. Individual pay may vary from the target range and is determined by a number of factors including experience, location, internal pay equity, and other relevant business considerations.
