About the Role

Headway's mission is to build a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. Our Payer & Outcomes group is where we prove that model works. As Senior Engineering Manager for Payer & Outcomes, you'll lead the two teams that answer two critical questions insurers have never been able to answer well: did the care actually work, and was it worth it?

Responsibilities

Lead, manage, and grow two engineering teams
Own delivery on a company-level outcomes key result, including its guardrails
Set the technical and operational roadmap across measurement, segmentation, and utilization
Develop your team through weekly 1:1s, mentorship, and direct feedback, and develop the manager reporting to 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

6+ years of engineering management experience at a high-growth startup or scale-up, including managing managers or tech leads
3–5+ 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, 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, quality measurement, or utilization management
Prior experience with Python, React, and AWS infrastructure
