Description du poste

BetterHelp is on a mission to remove the traditional barriers to therapy and make mental health care more accessible to everyone. Founded in 2013, we are now the world’s largest online therapy service, providing affordable and convenient therapy across the globe. Our network of over 30,000 licensed therapists has helped millions of people take ownership of their mental health and change their lives forever. And we’re not stopping there – as the unmet need for mental health services continues to grow, BetterHelp is committed to being part of the solution.

As a Full Stack Software Engineer at BetterHelp, you’ll join a diverse team of licensed clinicians, engineers, product pros, creatives, marketers, and business leaders who share a passion for expanding access to therapy. And as a mental health company, we take employee mental health just as seriously as we do our mission. We deeply invest in our team’s well‑being and professional development, because we know that business and individual growth go hand‑in‑hand. At BetterHelp, you’ll carve your own path, make an immediate impact, and be challenged every day – with a supportive community behind you the whole way.

What are we looking for?

We're looking for a talented, motivated, smart individual with a passion for software engineering, a strong desire to learn and an interest in providing mentorship to junior level developers. This position is ideal for a seasoned software engineer who has worked on multiple challenging projects, someone who is not afraid to write code to scratch an itch. We love technology and so should you.

What technologies will you work with?

We use a combination of well established and more recent technologies, always innovating, always experimenting. We’re open to new ideas and novel approaches! Our current tech stack is:

• Backend: Linux, nginx, MySQL, PHP and Redis
• Frontend: Twig (php templates), Bootstrap 3, Tailwind, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3/SASS and React

What will you do?

• You will develop end to end. You own your features and see them through to production and beyond.
• You will develop best practices and write clean, secure, readable, scalable code. OOP where appropriate.
• You will collaborate with other team members, including engineers and cross-functional colleagues.
• You will integrate and build for external and internal API's.
• You will develop new products in PHP and alter existing PHP code to accommodate scale and integration with new technologies and APIs.
• You will write and optimize SQL queries and design schemas.
• You will create and code complex backend algorithms.
• You will profile and optimize new and legacy code.
• You will be leveraging Bootstrap 3, jQuery HTML5, CSS3 and other open source technologies.
• You will always be thinking cross-device and cross-platform, mobile, tablet and desktop.
• You will ship often and fast. We keep an agile environment with continuous deployment.
• You will care and be involved in our product, mission, and success - way beyond checking off development tasks.
• You will enjoy great teamwork and lots of fun.

What will you NOT do?

• You will NOT worry about "runway", "cash left", or "how much time we have until the next round". We have the startup DNA but we're fully backed and funded, all the way to success.
• You will NOT be confined to your "job". You will get involved in product, marketing, business strategy, and almost everything we do.
• You will NOT be bogged down by office politics, ego, or bad attitude. Only positive, pleasure-to-work-with people are allowed here!
• You will NOT get yourself burned out. We work hard but we believe in maintaining a sustainable work/life balance. Really.

Yes. We operate on PST and candidates in any time zone are welcome to apply. We ask employees to travel to our San Jose, CA office up to three times per year plus one company-wide offsite to collaborate in person and strengthen working relationships.

Requirements

• Must be able to legally work in the US.
• Deep understanding of web development concepts and principles.
• Example of full-stack projects.
• At least one major demonstrable project with front‑end code, back‑end code and database.
• Ability to design, develop and launch a web application from start to finish.
• Ability to learn quickly and pick up new skills independently.
• Get‑things‑done attitude with eagerness to build something great.
• 5+ years of experience in web development (any stack), solving challenging problems and implementing new features from scratch.
• 3+ years of experience in SQL. Designing relational DB schemas, complex queries, etc.
• Familiar with web & SQL security best practices.
• Comfortable working outside the context of a framework. Frameworks can help you get some things done more quickly, but we find it helpful if candidates are comfortable working outside of a framework so they have a good understanding of what is going on behind the scenes first.
• Experience using git in a team environment.
• Ability to work in the US, to travel to our San Jose, California offices up to three times per year and to an additional company offsite.

Bonus (Helpful, but not required)
