📋 Description

•Headway’s mission is a big one – to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance. •1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the majority of providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access by making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice. •Building for trust is non-negotiable in our mission of making mental healthcare more accessible. Fundamental to this is safeguarding our users' sensitive data. The Trust Foundations team is responsible for building the secure, auditable, and privacy-first platforms that all of Headway’s product teams rely on to innovate safely and quickly. •As the Senior Engineering Manager for our new Secure Defaults pod, you will own the vision for and lead the team tasked with protecting Headway's most sensitive data. You will be responsible for setting the long-term strategy for how we handle data security at scale, spearheading foundational initiatives in data lineage, classification of sensitive information (PHI), and building the next generation of our Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) primitives. A key, forward-looking part of this role will be to define the roadmap for the secure and compliant use of AI at Headway. •This is a critical leadership role for a passionate, mission-aligned engineering leader to build a new team and make an immediate impact on Headway’s ability to scale securely.

🎯 Requirements

•You have a track record of building and leading high-performing teams, with 5+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager built upon a 4-5+ year background as a hands-on Software Engineer. •You are a deep domain expert in data security architecture. You have proven, practical experience designing and delivering systems for data lineage, classification of sensitive data (like PHI), and de-identification at scale. •You think in platforms and primitives. You have a demonstrated history of building secure-by-default foundations (e.g., RBAC systems, data access layers) and internal tooling that empowers other engineering teams to move faster and more safely. •You are a forward-looking, strategic thinker. You have an informed perspective on the future of data security, including the challenges and opportunities of applying AI to solve these complex problems in a safe and compliant way. •You are a pragmatic partner with a strong product mindset. You know how to balance robust security principles with the needs of a rapidly scaling business and can collaborate effectively with stakeholders in Legal, Security, and Product to deliver clear business outcomes through your technical investments. •It's a nice to have if you've had prior experience with Python and React and working with AWS infrastructure •It's a nice to have if you've had experience in health tech, building user-facing products •BS, MS in Computer Science or related field
