Software Quality Assurance Engineer III

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 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 the Software Quality Assurance Engineer III 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 changing the way it tests its software. We’re looking for a detail oriented QA engineer to join our established Software Quality Assurance team—a group that is passionate about quality and dedicated to delivering reliable, user-centered products.

As part of an agile development team, you’ll have the opportunity to test a wide variety of features across our platform. You’ll help define and perform the tests necessary to ensure that our products meet the high standards we set for quality. Rather than simply executing pre-written tests, you’ll contribute to designing the best strategies for testing the features within your area of responsibility.

You’ll also bring a strong understanding of test case design, regression strategies, and bug lifecycle management, and you’ll be comfortable collaborating cross-functionally to support product excellence.

What will you do?

• Determine the best test strategy for assigned areas of test, whether it be manual or automated testing
• Write clear and concise test plans, test cases, and bug reports
• Collaborate closely with developers and product managers
• Lead testing for small to medium features (e.g., 2-point Jira cards) independently
• Mentor junior QA team members and help them expand their product and technical knowledge
• Research test tools, methodologies, and trends to improve existing practices and processes
• Run, maintain, and troubleshoot existing automated tests in Playwright, partnering with QA teammates to improve test reliability and coverage

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

• At least 3 years of Software Quality Assurance (SQA) experience
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States

• Strong understanding of QA best practices
• Proficiency in test case design, test coverage strategies, and regression testing
• Comfortable with SQL and relational databases
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Passionate about quality and continuous improvement

Bonus (Great to have but not required)

• Experience in localization testing
• Mobile testing experience
• Accessibility testing experience
• Automated testing using Playwright

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)

• 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
