Working at Hudson Mohawk Recovery
Hudson Mohawk Recovery is a small public-information project rooted in the Capital District of New York. The directory we maintain points people in all 50 states toward more than 12,000 verified treatment programs — almost always during the hardest week of someone's life.
Most of us came to this work the long way — through a family member in treatment, a stretch on staff at a local program, or years writing about behavioral health. The directory we build is the one we wanted to hand to a neighbor a decade ago and couldn't find. It pulls together accredited centers across the country into one searchable index, with insurance, levels of care, conditions, and treatment methods filtered before you click. The work spans engineering, content, clinical review, partnerships, and the slow business of verifying facility data, and we hire across each of those lanes when we have headcount to spend.
A few things we don't do, and won't: we accept no advertising from treatment centers, we don't make money by selling leads to programs, and the order of listings is never adjusted based on partner relationships. That stance isn't marketing copy — it matters because the visitors using this site are usually weighing a decision in the middle of a crisis, for themselves or for someone they love, and they shouldn't have to wonder which result was paid for.
Where We Tend to Hire
Headcount comes and goes, but a handful of role-shapes repeat. We keep a running shortlist of people we'd like to call first when budget opens — these are the categories that show up most.
Engineering
Full-stack TypeScript on a Next.js and Supabase stack — search, filter logic, structured-data output, performance work, and the import pipelines that keep facility records honest week after week.
Content & Editorial
Writers and editors with a healthcare background who can take a clinical guideline or an evidence review and turn it into plain-English pages on conditions, levels of care, and what recovery actually involves.
Clinical Reviewers
Licensed clinicians — LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or addiction medicine MDs — willing to read articles for clinical accuracy on a contract basis. Light monthly commitment, fully remote, and the byline is yours when you want it.
Partnerships & Outreach
Quiet relationship work with treatment providers, county recovery coalitions, and family-support groups — the kind of steady contact that keeps listings current and gets the directory in front of people who need it.
Remote, Anchored in NY
The team works from home; the project keeps roots in the Capital District. Anywhere in the United States works for the role.
Work That Matters
The end-user is a family searching at midnight. Doing this work well means a real person finds a real bed instead of a paid ad.
Growing, Steadily
Visitors come from all 50 states, and the directory keeps widening as new programs are verified and added.
What We Look For
A real relationship with recovery. Most of the team has lived through addiction inside their own family, practiced in the field, or both. You don't owe us a recovery story — but you do need to take the subject as seriously as the families who land on our search results, who are anything but abstract.
Quiet ownership. The crew is small and spread across time zones, so projects move without much ceremony. People thrive here when they can take a fuzzy problem, draw its edges, and ship something usable — without waiting for a daily check-in.
Writing you'd read out loud. We write constantly — for visitors in a tough hour, for each other, for the clinicians who review our pages. Plain, careful prose is the baseline, whatever your role.
A tolerance for grey areas. Behavioral-health data is messy, the guidelines keep moving, and the honest answer is usually “it depends on the person.” We'll take someone who can admit “I don't know yet” over a confident bluff every time.
No Open Roles Right Now
There's nothing actively posted today — but we still want to hear from people whose work fits one of the role-shapes above. The shortlist is how we hire when budget returns.
When a seat does open, the inbox is the first place we look — before anything goes public. To make your note easy to find again later, please include:
- The role area you're interested in (engineering, content, clinical review, partnerships)
- A short paragraph on why this work, specifically, pulls at you
- Links worth clicking — a portfolio, GitHub, published writing, or licensure details
