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 in 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 Security 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 are looking for a motivated Application Security Engineer who is looking to help build the maturity of our Application Security Team. Our team prioritizes the full lifecycle of security triage: identifying vulnerabilities, reproducing exploits, meticulous code analysis, implementing security automation, and crafting production‑ready fixes. We are looking for an engineer with good communication, strong technical abilities, and a get‑things‑done attitude with eagerness to build something awesome!

What will you do?

• Lead the application security team and bring new ideas to mature the program.
• Work with a nimble and passionate security team, collaborating with development and product.
• Conduct vulnerability triage: handle internal and external vulnerability reports, go beyond investigating and write fixes yourself.
• Review code and help make decisions about secure coding decisions.
• Work with other developers and teams for long term security success.
• Use Burp Suite on a daily basis for triaging and penetration testing.
• Code solutions for preventative measures and generating alerts.
• Use your detective work to get to the AH‑HA! moment when you find and replicate the root cause of an issue and figure out how to fix it.
• You will care and be involved in our product, mission, and success - way beyond checking off tasks.

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. Travel expenses are covered and reasonable accommodations are made for those under unique circumstances who cannot travel.

• Experience with security code reviews, security architecture, and SAST
