About The Position

We're dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health and learning disorders by giving them the help they need. We've become the leading independent nonprofit in children's mental health by providing gold-standard evidence-based care, delivering educational resources to millions of families each year, training educators in underserved communities, and developing tomorrow's breakthrough treatments. As part of the Center for Data Analytics, Innovation, and Rigor team, you will report to Technical Program Manager. You will develop web-based applications and interactive platforms supporting AI research projects. You will work across the stack, from database schemas to user interfaces, taking ownership of features from design through production deployment. Working in close collaboration with data science professionals, clinical researchers, and non-technical team members, you will build scalable, user-friendly solutions that support mental health research and clinical applications. You will use common frameworks, platforms, and languages, such as JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, React, GitHub, containerization tools (e.g., Docker), and cloud computing infrastructures (e.g., AWS, Azure) to support full stack development initiatives at the interface of our clinical and computational research needs. This is an exempt, full-time, hybrid position located in our NYC headquarters office or other relevant location. This position requires a minimum of four (4) days per week in the office, on a schedule determined by your supervisor. The in-office requirement and schedule are subject to change based on the needs of the program and the organization.
