Senior Software Engineer, Backend

We're hiring a Software Engineer to help build and evolve the backend systems that power Grow Therapy's platform. In this role, you'll design, implement, and ship server-side features and services that directly impact how clients and providers connect, communicate, and access care. You'll join a collaborative, product-focused engineering organization where technical work is closely tied to reliability, scalability, and real-world outcomes. This role is ideal for an engineer who takes pride in writing clean, well-tested code, thinks carefully about system design and data integrity, and is energized by the opportunity to grow alongside a fast-moving team.

Requirements

7+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful ownership of production backend systems; Deep backend engineering expertise, including service design, data modeling, and API development at scale; Experience building and operating systems where reliability, data quality, and performance are critical; Proven ability to operate in ambiguous problem spaces and drive clarity across technical and cross-functional stakeholders; A highly data-driven mindset, comfortable with experimentation, measurement, and optimization from both product and technical perspectives; A product-minded approach — you understand how technical decisions impact user experience and business outcomes; Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of influencing cross-functional partners including Product, Design, and Data Science; Experience using AI-assisted dev tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot); A bias toward ownership, speed, learning, and continuous improvement
