Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Core Experiences

Let’s face it, a company whose mission is human transformation better have some fresh thinking about the employer/employee relationship.

We do. We can’t cram it all in here, but you’ll start noticing it from the first interview.

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.

Our team is responsible for an ecosystem of innovative digital interventions that drive member engagement and partner retention. These interventions include assessments, reflective practices, group coaching, and other modalities that expand learning's value beyond coaching sessions. Our distinctiveness lies in the close collaboration across product, engineering, and behavioral science. We thus play a crucial role in enabling BetterUp to help everyone live with greater clarity, purpose and passion.

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. As a result, we collaborate with other squads in BetterUp to design, architect, implement, and monitor new product offerings enabling people to connect and flourish.

This is a role based out of the Netherlands (hybrid remote and in our Amsterdam office)
