Engineering Manager (Network Value)

Headway's mission is to build a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. We have built the largest insurance-based therapy network in the country, and the insurers paying for it are now asking two fair questions: is it working, and is it worth it? Network Value is the team that answers the second one. As Engineering Manager for Network Value, you'll lead the team closing that gap: understanding our patients and our providers far better than we do today, using that to match them well, and turning the result into evidence an insurer will accept. The nuance is the job.

Responsibilities

Lead, manage, and grow the Network Value engineering team; Own delivery on externally-committed launches and metrics, including their guardrails; Set the technical and operational roadmap across segmentation, provider efficiency ranking, and subnetworks; Develop your team through weekly 1:1s, mentorship, and direct feedback, and grow a tech-lead layer beneath you; Partner closely with Product, Clinical, Data Science, and Commercial to iterate quickly and rigorously; Contribute to the broader group and company strategy, not just your own roadmap

Requirements

3+ years of engineering management experience at a high-growth startup or scale-up; 4+ years of experience as a software engineer, enough to hold technical direction credibly; A track record of building and leading high-performing teams that delivered business outcomes through technical investment; A strong product mindset and cross-functional relationships that build trust with users and stakeholders; Experience owning an externally-committed metric or launch date, with the scope discipline that requires; Comfort with data- and ML-heavy systems: measurement, experimentation, and metric guardrails

Nice to have

healthcare, insurance, or another regulated, high-trust domain; value-based care, utilization management, cost-of-care analytics, or marketplace ranking; prior experience with Python, React, and AWS infrastructure
