Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Core Experiences

Even our candidate experience is different. And when you get an offer from us (and accept it), you get way more than a paycheck. You get a personal BetterUp Coach, a development plan, a trained and coached manager, the most amazing team you’ve ever met (yes, each with their own personal BetterUp Coach), and most importantly, work that matters. 

This makes for a remarkably focused and fulfilling work experience. Frankly, it’s not for everyone. But for people with fire in their belly, it’s a game-changing, career-defining, soul-lifting move.

Join us and we promise you the most intense and fulfilling years of your career, doing life-changing work in a fun, inventive, soulful culture. 

If that sounds exciting—and the job description below feels like a fit—we really should start talking.

We’re looking for a driven platform software engineer who cares deeply about their craft, and who wants to use their skills to bring about positive change in the world. Someone who is comfortable in the rapidly changing nature of a high pace environment but also adept at moving relentlessly forward: doing what needs to be done to unblock projects that truly deliver value to our users. 

Core Experiences

Our team is responsible for an ecosystem of innovative digital interventions that drive member engagement and partner retention. These interventions include assessments, resources, reflective practices, and other modalities that expand learning's value beyond coaching sessions.

We thus play a crucial role in enabling BetterUp to help everyone live with greater clarity, purpose and passion.

As part of the platform organization, we work in a data driven environment and strive to build systems and modalities that other teams can leverage to quickly build new experiences for our users.
