<p>Building a new mental healthcare system at Headway is only possible because of the scale and leverage that software can provide.

<p>Everything is a product: Whether it's our patient search experience or a developer productivity improvement, we treat everything we build at Headway as a product with end-users in mind.</p>
<p>Optimize for trust: We believe that engineers should be continually learning. To learn effectively and to be productive, engineers must feel safe asking questions and discussing mistakes.</p>
