New York, United States Tbwa ChiatDay Inc Full time

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.

Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 34,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.

We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

About the role

The Trust team at Headway is focused on security and privacy for all of Headway’s customers - therapists, patients, and payers (ex: insurance companies and health systems). As an early member on the team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to be the builder and driver of our dedicated, in-house product and application security engineering efforts. In this role, you will partner closely with our product and engineering teams to ensure that our application is designed and developed securely so that we can maintain and grow customers’ trust in Headway.

What you’ll do at Headway:
  • Partner with Product and Engineering: Headway has many new product launches on the horizon that will transform the industry and have a rich data component. You will be a partner at both the design and development stage to ensure that we implement new features securely, including (but not limited to):
  • Participating in the implementation efforts
  • Doing security reviews
  • Helping with product design decisions
  • Auditing and surfacing vulnerabilities in our current products
  • Develop and Improve our Automated Tooling: Further enhance our automated tooling to scale our application security capabilities and find potential code problems both before and after we deploy.
  • Make the safe way, the easy way: Work on defining and building application guardrails so that developers can build securely by default. You also will work to instill a culture of secure development across engineering.
  • Assist in ongoing security operations: You will be part of the security and privacy team and have responsibilities to assist in incident response, vulnerability management, penetration testing, security reviews, and other operational tasks to ensure that our security program is operating at a world-class level.
Tools we use:
  • Languages: Python 3, TypeScript
  • Libraries: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, React
  • Infrastructure: AWS (Fargate, ECS, S3, and more), Spark and Kafka
  • Version Control: Github
  • Vulnerability Management: Snyk, Semgrep
You’ll be great for this role if you have:
  • Have 0 → 1 security experience: You have 5+ years experience in security and/or software engineering roles with a demonstrated history of working on security-related projects or with responsibilities as a security generalist.
  • Strong cross-functional experience: You love partnering with other teams to help both teams achieve their goals.
  • Strong technical depth and breadth: You have technical experience with building secure platforms and products at a deep level. You are excited to perform security design and code reviews. You want to understand security systems and improve their efficiency and scalability.
  • Thrive in ambiguity: You love tackling ambiguous problems in a fast-paced environment with an optimistic and energizing attitude.
  • Innovation at Scale: You seek opportunities to lead the industry in implementing the latest security and privacy technologies.
  • Results driven: You care deeply about creating impact and driving results for Headway’s business.
  • Mission driven: You are motivated by Headway’s mission, increasing access to high quality mental health care.
Compensation and Benefits:
  • The starting salary for an Application Security Engineer is $188,000 and increases to $230,000 based on industry tenure and experience.

Benefits offered include:

  • Equity Compensation
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
  • HSA / FSA
  • 401K
  • Work-from-Home Stipend
  • Therapy Reimbursement
  • 16-week parental leave for eligible employees
  • Carrot Fertility annual reimbursement and membership
  • 13 paid holidays each year as well as a Holiday Break during the week between December 25th and December 31st
  • Flexible PTO
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Training and professional development
