Staff Software Engineer - Care Access Team (Remote)

Published on July 19, 2024

Each year, more than 65 million Americans seek help for a mental health condition. And due to a broken and frustrating system, 2 out of 3 of those individuals give up before ever getting the help they need.

We can do better. We must do better. Our team is here to do just that.

Our mission is to create a world where every person can access high- quality mental health care. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Our approach to care is evidence-based, outcome-driven and compassionate. We empower our exceptional provider network to track progress throughout the care journey to ensure clients achieve their full potential.

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. 
We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.
