About Project Healthy Minds
Project Healthy Minds is a mental health nonprofit that runs like a tech startup. We are pioneering a first-of-its-kind model: applying technology to address one of the biggest social issues of our time: the growing mental health crisis. We believe in a simple but profound idea: that it should be as easy to find mental health services as it is to book a flight or a restaurant reservation. That's why we're building the world’s first digital marketplace for finding mental health services that are right for you.
To do that, we work with some of the most inspiring and influential leaders in America - business titans, tech entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists, musicians, artists, athletes, media stars, policymakers, and more - because we believe that the world's most complex challenges require interdisciplinary teams and solutions.
We are backed by a powerhouse of industry-leading Board of Directors and Advisory Council Members who are passionate, hands-on, and dive into the important work with us.

About The Role
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Contribute to the "logged in" experience as we expand authenticated features
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
• Production experience with TypeScript and Next.js
• Familiarity with NestJS or similar Node.js backend frameworks
• Fullstack capability with a frontend focus—you're comfortable across the stack but you care about what users see, experience, and feel

• A belief in our mission: connecting millions of Americans to mental health services that actually work for them
WHY THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
• A world-class Board, Clinical Advisory Committee, supporters, and collaborators. We've assembled a truly best-in-class network across business, academia, and media.
• A big, bold vision with backing. Multi-year track record of strong YoY growth, funded by philanthropy and earned revenue.
• Startup mindset, social mission ethos. You'll work with a team from venture-backed startups, market-leading enterprises, and everything in between—united by the chance to drive massive positive impact.
• Own the user experience end-to-end. You won't just write code—you'll shape what users see, measure whether it works, and grow into driving what gets built next.
What We Offer
• Competitive compensation
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• Paid holidays and generous PTO
• Life insurance
• Short-term and long-term disability
• Spring Health mental healthcare
• Commuter benefits
• Perks at Work
