Careers at Headway

Help us build a new mental healthcare system

We’re clinicians, engineers, data scientists, recruiters, and medical coding specialists, hiring across 14 teams. Together we’re building a new mental healthcare system, rewired for access and affordability.

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. We started with the biggest barrier — insurance — and we are not stopping there. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients.

What we’re all about

Six cultural principles we live and breathe to operate as a world-class team. Drag them around — they move.

Principle 1Owner

Headway owner: go where you are needed

We prioritize Headway’s success above personal or department goals, and we always close the loop.

Principle 2BFF

Better, Faster, Fewer

Better and Faster keep our startup identity alive. Fewer keeps us on the vital few, not the worthwhile many.

Principle 3SBWH

Strong Belief, Weakly Held

We present strong beliefs in the face of uncertainty, pressure-test them, and yield them quickly.

Principle 4Relationships

Relationship-obsessed

Providers, insurers, and patients come first — and we go the extra distance for fellow Headwegians.

Principle 5FUEL

Feedback uplifts every level

Never short-term nice at the expense of long-term kind. Tactical feedback on projects, developmental feedback with each other.

Principle 6Ask us

The invisible 6th principle

One we live by but never write down. Join us to find out what it’s about.

What the process looks like

  1. 1

    Recruiter call

    A recruiter walks you through the role, the team, and compensation, and answers whatever you want to ask first.

  2. 2

    Hiring manager

    A conversation with the person you would report to, about the problems the team owns and the work you have done.

  3. 3

    Team interviews

    Role-specific conversations with the people you would work alongside, focused on craft and on how you collaborate.

  4. 4

    Offer and references

    We gather references, then your recruiter brings you a written offer and stays with you through the decision.
