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 Software Engineering Manager 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 leader with a passion for software engineering, a strong desire to learn, and an interest in providing mentorship to other developers. This position is ideal for a software engineering manager who has worked on multiple challenging projects and managed teams of 6+ developers, someone who is not afraid to write code to scratch an itch and can motivate others to build great products with software. We love technology and so should you.

What will you do?

• Lead a team of engineers and accelerate their growth by providing thoughtful feedback, technical mentorship and effectively managing performance.
• Manage the day-to-day activities of your software development team.
• Participate in the hiring process, and onboard new team members.

• Motivate your team and make sure they have the resources to be successful, both as individuals and as a team.
• 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 tasks.

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:

• Frontend: Twig (PHP templates), Bootstrap 3, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3/SASS, and Next.js / React

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.
