Mission

The Path is a research lab and consumer health company on a mission to provide therapy-grade help for anyone, anytime.

Over 3 billion people a year have a problem large enough to warrant therapy but the barriers to access - around price, time, geography, stigma, and language - are so large that less than 10% of these people are getting the help they need.

The Path exists because help shouldn’t depend on privilege, because intelligence should serve humanity, and because clarity is the first act of care.

As a member of The Path, you will have an opportunity to build a generational company that aims to have more positive impact on the world than any other company in human history.

• Feature Implementation: Deliver designs for 10+ major features per quarter. Be collaborative and strategic in making key roadmap prioritization decisions, and helping scope the implementation with engineers.

• User Research: Periodically talk to our users (active and churned), and form deep hypotheses about the underlying patterns in what they need. Do this 3-6 times per year, speaking with 10+ users in a batch and presenting findings to the team. Then use those insights to help prioritize our roadmap and create novel solutions to those users' problems.

• AI-First: Leverage AI design tools to accelerate ideation, while ensuring final outputs are polished, human-centered, and free of AI slop that could undermine The Path's brand. Also, think deeply about the future of Human-AI interactions, bringing your novel ideas to life inside the The Path Therapy product.
