Engineering Manager, Momentum

About Us:

Grow was born to tackle a critical challenge: making mental health care more effective and accessible for everyone. Since launching in 2020, 15 million sessions have started on Grow, and we've barely scratched the surface. We do it through a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Every solution we build reveals ten more waiting to be delivered, and that's just what gets us going. We've backed that ambition with more than $328M in funding, including our Series D at a $3B valuation from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, Menlo Ventures, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and others.

Your Impact at Grow:

At Grow, the work you do can literally change someone's life. Your work here doesn't stay on a screen; it impacts whether someone can find, afford, and access quality care. That ambition sets us apart, and offers you an endless runway to impact one of the world's most urgent issues. We don’t have passenger seats here. Everyone is driving something that matters.

This work deserves real commitment. So if you thrive on meeting problems head on, untangling serious complexity, and working at pace with the sharpest yet kindest people around, you've come to the right place.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Momentum, the team that builds the experiences supporting our clients in their mental health journey outside of active care: the 167 hours a week they’re not in a session. Momentum owns what a client experiences between sessions and Grow’s mobile apps end to end, including session recaps, Intentions (commitments clients set with their therapist and carry into the week), and the consumer mobile experience we’re building around them.

You’ll lead a full-stack team of backend and iOS engineers from 0 to 1 as we learn what clients need, then from 1 to 100. The team is forming now and works with a dedicated product manager and designer, so you’ll have real influence over its technical foundation, culture, and product direction.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead a full-stack team of backend and iOS engineers, hiring and growing them as the team scales its product from 0 to 1 to 100.
• Own the roadmap with your product manager and designer, from hypothesis through shipped experiment, and own the metrics that show whether it worked.
• Make the technical calls that shape Momentum’s foundation: what we build natively in the iOS app, what we ship as an experiment, what we instrument, and how backend services are shaped.
• Raise and maintain a high technical bar by reviewing code, driving architecture decisions, and contributing hands-on when needed.
• Help define Grow’s inter-session strategy with Product, working out what clients need between sessions.
• Use data and client insight to guide decisions, measure impact, and adjust course quickly as we learn.
• Build and coach a high-performance team and a culture with operational rigor suited to a team finding product-market fit: hire, develop, and promote engineers, and make the hard calls when needed.
• Represent Momentum and its work to the broader engineering organization alongside peer engineering managers and leaders.

What You’ll Bring:

• You have 3+ years of experience as an engineering manager leading a product team, plus 6+ years as a hands-on engineer in backend, full-stack, or iOS engineering.
• You’ve led a team that included iOS or mobile engineers and can engage credibly with their work. A native iOS engineering background is not required.
• You’ve shipped consumer products that people use regularly, with outcomes you owned and metrics you moved.
• You bring technical depth as a leader: you review code, drive architecture decisions, reason through system design tradeoffs for a mobile and backend product, and get hands-on when the team needs it.
• You have strong product sense, can articulate a vision and drive it to execution, and work with product and design as peers.
• You’ve delivered complex programs in ambiguous environments.
• You make decisions with data.
• You’ve built high-performance teams: hiring, developing, and promoting engineers, and handling performance.
• You communicate well and lead cross-functionally.
• You have a founder’s mindset: ownership, speed, scrappiness, and problem-solving.

Nice to have:

• You have a native iOS engineering background, or current fluency with Swift and SwiftUI.
• You have experience with growth or experimentation-driven consumer products, or with products used by patients, clinicians, or other healthcare professionals.
• You’ve had a start-up, incubation, or 0-to-1 chapter.

Use of AI Tools: We use certain AI and automated tools to support recruitment. These tools help our team review applications, organize interviews, detect potential application integrity issues, and maintain interview records; they do not make final hiring decisions.

Application Review: Ashby's AI-Assisted Application Review helps review application materials against role-specific criteria and may flag potential fraud or integrity issues for recruiter review. All advancement decisions are made by our human recruiting team after independent review. See Ashby's AI Bias Audit Report https://trust.ashbyhq.com/item/ai-bias-audit-report.

Interview Recording: We use BrightHire to record interviews, supporting note-taking and consistency across candidates. Learn more https://help.brighthire.ai/en/articles/4484370-brighthire-for-candidates-faq. Interviews are confidential; you may ask your interviewer to stop recording anytime, or opt out in advance https://app.brighthire.ai/candidate-opt-out/kcrUeiitS5Khw5AcWW_jLg. Choosing not to be recorded will not, by itself, affect your candidacy.

AI-Assisted Recruiter Screen: For select roles, BrightHire's AI features may help structure initial recruiter screens and organize interview notes. All responses are reviewed by our recruiting team; no hiring decisions are made by AI alone.

State-specific notices: Depending on your location, you may have additional rights. Illinois: If AI analyzes a video interview, we'll provide notice, explain how it works and what it evaluates, and obtain consent beforehand. New York City: Where required, we'll provide at least 10 business days’ notice before using an automated employment decision tool and explain how to request an alternative process. Maryland: We do not use facial recognition to create facial templates during interviews unless required notice and written consent are obtained.
