About the Company:
Little Otter is reimagining the way that children receive mental health care. We pair technology, and exceptional care to deliver high-quality personalized mental health support to families and children anywhere, anytime. Developed by Dr. Helen Egger, previously Head of Child Psychiatry at NYU Langone and Duke University, and the top minds in early childhood mental health, our programs empower families to get back to what matters the most as soon as possible. Little Otter helps parents better understand their child's emotions and behaviors, providing personalized care plans and evidence-based therapy.
We are looking for team members who are mission driven and excited to actively participate in growing our offering. Our engineering team is small where there's an opportunity to have a large impact on the work we are doing and the decision making process. Our approach is to take a data-driven and evidence-based approach to providing high-quality mental health care to families and children and we are building the platform to enable it. This will be the first of its kind - a platform that focuses on providing a family-centric model to care and one that powers our providers to provide data-driven care.
