United States onlyWho are we and why should you join us?
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 210 countries and over 60 languages 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.
We are looking for recent bootcamp graduates or Junior/Senior college students to join our team! As a software engineering intern 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 seriously 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 will you do?
You will work with our senior-level engineers and collaborate with our product and data teams through the entire software development lifecycle. From building, testing, and deploying to monitoring and tracking code changes and their impacts, you will be a part of it all. We're looking for individuals with a passion for writing code who want to learn technologies that they may be unfamiliar with and hone their skills in those they already know. You will:
- Work with a nimble passionate team; collaborating with development and support.
- Develop features under the supervision of an experienced developer
- Collaborate on software documentation (reading, writing, and updating)
- Debug and test code (manual and automated testing)
- Write code to perform A/B tests
- Write and analyze SQL queries
- Learn to think about solving problems with high-scalability in mind
What will you NOT do?
- You will NOT worry about funding. We have startup DNA, but we're fully backed and funded by our parent company, Teladoc Health.
- You will NOT be confined to your "job". We believe in nurturing employees’ interests and passions – even if some of them lie outside of your core responsibilities.
- You will NOT be bogged down by office politics, egos, or bad attitudes. Only positive, pleasure-to-work-with people are allowed here!
- You will NOT get burned out. We work hard, but we also believe in maintaining sustainable work/life balance. Seriously.
- You will NOT have to wonder why you’re doing the work you’re doing. Our day-to-day operations translate into people getting the help they need.

We also ask our employees to travel to our Mountain View, CA office up to six times per year to collaborate in person in order to build better working relationships and experience our in-office culture. Travel expenses will be covered and reasonable accommodations will be made for those under unique circumstances who cannot travel.
