The OpportunityWe're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead and scale Grow Therapy's iOS engineering team. You'll own the technical vision, people strategy, and execution for our mobile platform - building consumer-grade experiences that help millions of clients access mental healthcare, and thousands of providers manage thriving practices.
As a Senior Engineering Manager within our engineering leadership team, you'll build and develop a high-performance iOS team, drive the technical strategy for our mobile platform, and partner closely with Product, Design, and cross-functional stakeholders to shape what gets built. This role sits at the intersection of mobile craft, product thinking, and engineering leadership. You'll bring clarity to ambiguity, raise the bar for iOS quality, and create an environment where engineers do their best work.
This is a rare opportunity to define the mobile experience for the future of mental healthcare - building the kind of polished, intuitive app that makes care accessible at a national scale.
What You'll Be Doing- Define and own the long-term technical vision and strategy for the iOS platform, ensuring our mobile experience is on par with the best consumer apps (Airbnb, Uber, Duolingo)
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 8 - 9 iOS engineers - raising the bar for craft, code quality, performance, and mobile UX
- Partner with Product and Design leadership to shape the mobile roadmap, ensuring engineering influences direction and doesn't just execute
- Drive high-quality, high-velocity shipping with strong operational frameworks for planning, prioritization, and delivery excellence
- Build scalable mobile architecture - owning decisions around app performance, offline capabilities, release management, CI/CD, and platform tooling
- Use data to guide decisions, instrument systems, measure impact, and continuously optimize the iOS experience
- Execute on performance management - coach engineers on day-to-day challenges and long-term career development, maintain standards of excellence, and recognize outperformance
- Foster a welcoming, collaborative, high-trust team culture with low non-regrettable attrition, even in a remote-first environment
- Contribute to the broader engineering organization by collaborating with peer Senior EMs and leaders on org-wide initiatives and engineering culture
You'll Be a Good Fit If- You have 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 4+ years leading engineering teams and at least 2+ years managing iOS or mobile-focused teams
- You have strong iOS technical depth - you understand Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI, mobile architecture patterns, and can engage deeply with your team on technical decisions
- You have a track record of shipping polished, high-quality mobile experiences at scale in a consumer or marketplace environment
- You bring a product engineering mindset - you deeply understand user needs and translate them into delightful, high-performance mobile experiences
- You've scaled teams through rapid growth - you know how to hire, onboard, and develop engineers while maintaining quality and velocity
- You have exceptional communication and cross-functional leadership skills, including the ability to influence non-technical stakeholders
- You operate with a founder's mindset - ownership, speed, scrappiness, resilience, and a bias toward action
- You are passionate about building high-performance teams and developing engineers into future leaders
