How would you approach modernizing a legacy PHP application while continuing to ship product features? I would identify high-risk and high-value areas, add tests and observability, define incremental boundaries for replacement, and migrate functionality in small reversible steps. This reduces delivery risk while allowing the team to continue serving users. How do you optimize a slow SQL query used by a high-traffic application? I first reproduce the issue and inspect execution plans, query volume, indexes, joins, and data-access patterns. I then make targeted changes such as indexing, query restructuring, pagination, caching, or schema adjustments, and validate the improvement under realistic load. What practices do you use to protect privacy and security in a web application handling sensitive information? I apply least-privilege access, secure authentication and authorization, input validation, parameterized queries, encryption where appropriate, careful logging practices, dependency management, code review, and regular security testing. I also consider privacy requirements during architecture and data-model decisions rather than treating them as a final checklist. How do you use AI-assisted development tools without compromising engineering quality? I use them to accelerate repetitive work, explore alternatives, and draft tests or documentation, but I independently review and validate every output. I do not expose sensitive data to unapproved tools, and I remain accountable for correctness, security, maintainability, and architectural decisions. Opportunity details ## About this role. ### Who are we and why should you join us? BetterHelp is on a mission to champion the well-being in all of us. We’re working to make mental healthcare more accessible, so more people can get the support they need, when they need it. As the world’s largest online therapy service, we’ve connected millions of people with a network of more than 30,000 licensed therapists– 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 Full Stack Software Engineer at BetterHelp, you’ll join a diverse team of clinicians, engineers, product pros, creatives, marketers, and business leaders who share a passion for expanding access to therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to make an immediate impact, grow alongside the business, and do meaningful work alongside people who care deeply about what we’re building together. ### What are we looking for? We’re looking for a talented software engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, learning continuously, and building products that make a meaningful difference.

Engineers remain accountable for every technical decision. ### What will you NOT do? * You will NOT worry about funding. We have startup energy, with the support and resources of our parent company, Teladoc Health. * You will NOT be limited to a narrow set of responsibilities. We encourage employees to contribute ideas, develop new skills, collaborate across teams, and explore opportunities that support both their growth and the growing needs of the business. * You will NOT be expected to navigate a culture driven by ego or unnecessary hierarchy.
