Who 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.

As a Senior/Staff Data Scientist 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?

BetterHelp is looking for a Senior/Staff 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 in Pacific Time and candidates in any time zone are welcome to apply. 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.
