Staff Software Engineer, Lives Covered

Grow Therapy is on a mission to serve as the trusted partner for therapists and patients in accessing high-quality care. They are seeking a highly technical, systems-oriented Staff Engineer to drive architecture, scalability, and platform strategy across the Lives Covered organization, focusing on enhancing core systems for insurance workflows and partner integrations.

Responsibilities:

• Define and own the long-term technical vision for core Lives Covered systems, including billing integrity, claims lifecycle, partner integrations, scheduling, and clinical data exchange
• Architect scalable backend systems that support high-volume financial transactions, partner onboarding, eligibility checks, prior authorization workflows, and data sharing across payors and employers
• Design and evolve durable systems of record (e.g., Ledger, rates, coverage models) that ensure auditability, correctness, and extensibility as Grow scales
• Standardize and simplify complex partner integrations by building reusable platform primitives that reduce the marginal cost of onboarding new partners
• Lead cross-team initiatives that span Billing & Payments and Partnerships, bringing clarity to ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges
• Instrument critical financial and integration flows, using data to identify bottlenecks, reduce uncollected revenue, and improve partner onboarding speed
• Establish architectural guardrails, service boundaries, and documentation standards to ensure consistency and long-term maintainability
• Mentor senior engineers and elevate architectural rigor across multiple teams, influencing without direct authority

Requirements:

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including leading complex, cross-team technical initiatives
• Designed and operated scalable backend systems or systems of record in domains like payments, integrations, data platforms, or high-volume transactional systems
• Comfortable bringing clarity to ambiguity—translating complex business or regulatory requirements into durable technical architecture
• Influence without authority, communicate clearly across engineering, product, and operations, and raise the technical bar through mentorship
• Think in systems and leverage—optimizing for long-term scalability, reuse, and reduced marginal cost rather than one-off solutions
