Full Job Description

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. About the Role As Senior Manager, Data Engineering, you will define and lead the technical strategy for Headway's data infrastructure. The team's mission is to build and maintain the reliable, scalable data systems that power analytics, machine learning, and operational decision-making across the company. You will report into Headway's Data organization, a mission-critical pillar that ensures our data assets are accurate, timely, and accessible. Trustworthy data infrastructure is foundational to Headway's growth — enabling every team to build, measure, and improve with confidence. You will partner closely with Data Science, Analytics, Product, and Engineering to deeply understand and anticipate the data needs of a fast-growing healthcare company. You will define the right architectural investments, proactively surface reliability and scalability risks, and use engine
