What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software QA Engineering Intern - Summer 2025 position at BetterHelp?
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. 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 QA 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 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 the pioneers who will form our new Software Quality Assurance team. You will be part of an agile software development team with the responsibility to define and perform the tests necessary to ensure that our products meet the high standards we set for quality. You will have the opportunity to determine the best strategy for testing the features that fall into your responsibilities and won’t just be executing tests that someone else creates.
What will you do?
Yes. We operate on PST and candidates in any time zone are welcome to apply.

At BetterHelp we thrive on difference and individuality, and as part of the Teladoc Health family, we are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
