Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.\nBut we're going further. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.\nWe're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.\nAbout the role\nThe Security 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.\nWhat you’ll do at Headway:\nPartner 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):\nParticipating in the implementation efforts\n\nDoing security reviews\n\nHelping with product design decisions\n\nAuditing and surfacing vulnerabilities in our current products\n\nBuild agentic security tooling: Move beyond rules-based automation to agentic workflows that address potential code problems at scale across our rapidly growing codebase. You'll help build an AI-native product security at Headway.\n\nMake 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.\n\nAssist in ongoing security operations: You will be part of the security 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.\n\nTools we use:\nCloud Security: Lacework\n\nLanguages: Python 3, TypeScript\n\nLibraries: FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, React\n\nDatastores: Postgres, Redis\n\nInfrastructure: AWS (Fargate, ECS, S3, and more), Spark and Kafka\n\nMonitoring: Datadog, PagerDuty\n\nVersion Control: Github\n\nVulnerability Management: Snyk, Semgrep\n\nYou’ll be great for this role if you have:\nHave 0 → 1 security experience: You have 2+ 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.\n\nStrong cross-functional experience: You love partnering with other teams to help both teams achieve their goals.\n\nStrong 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.\n\nExcited by AI’s potential: You believe AI will fundamentally reshape how product security works, and you want to be at the forefront of making that happen.\n\nThrive in ambiguity: You love tackling ambiguous problems in a fast-paced environment with an optimistic and energizing attitude.\n\nInnovation at Scale: You seek opportunities to lead the industry in implementing the latest security and privacy technologies.\n\nResults driven: You care deeply about creating impact and driving results for Headway’s business.\n\nMission driven: You are motivated by Headway’s mission, increasing access to high quality mental health care.\n\nWe believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.
