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.

What are we looking for?

BetterHelp is looking for a Data Scientist to help us scale and increase our impact. You will use data to drive insight into the product and business with a focus. The ideal candidate would have experience analyzing large and complex data sets related to web products. You'll be doing plenty of experiment design and post-hoc analysis to support product improvements and business decisions.

What will you do?

  • Get insight from an enormous amount of data, and take a proactive role partnering with the product team in finding and testing data-driven ideas for improving our products.
  • Collaborate with the product team and development team to design effective, statistically rigorous experiments, including simple A/B tests as well as more advanced experiment designs that account for complexities such as network effects.
  • Monitor and analyze several product tests with statistical rigor, present the data and insights to the team, and drive product decisions.
  • Look at complex problems and come up with testable models and algorithms that have measurable business impact.
  • Enjoy great teamwork, have lots of fun, and take pride in building a world-class product that makes a difference in people's lives.

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.

Can I work remotely?

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.

Requirements

  • 1+ years of experience in a data science role or relevant internships, ideally applying analytical skills to real-world problems
  • Degree in a quantitative discipline such as Statistics, Math, Economics, or Operations Research
  • Familiarity with analyzing A/B tests or similar experiments through coursework or projects
  • Proficiency in SQL
  • Hands-on experience with data analysis, experiment design, and statistical methods through work, internships, or academic projects
  • Strong grasp of statistical concepts, especially around hypothesis testing and experiment design
  • Clear and thoughtful communicator, with a desire to keep improving how complex ideas are shared across different audiences

Benefits

  • Remote work with regular in-person bonding experiences sponsored by the company
  • Competitive compensation
  • Holistic perks program (including free therapy, employee wellness, and more)
  • Excellent health, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401k benefits with employer matching contribution
  • The chance to build something that changes lives – and that people love
  • Any piece of hardware or software that will make you happy and productive
  • An awesome community of co-workers
