    Our mission is to help millions back to good mental health

    We do this through our digital therapeutics: Daylight™ for worry and anxiety, and Sleepio™, for poor sleep.
    These fully automated cognitive and behavioral programs are as scalable and clinically validated as drugs.
    And our software combines the intimacy of the human voice, engaging animation, and clinically rigorous techniques to engage people anytime and anywhere and ultimately help them overcome their mental health challenges.
    Today, over 10 million people worldwide have access to Big Health’s products, via leading employers in the US (including Boston Medical, The Hartford, Google, and Home Depot ) and the UK’s NHS.
    This is an outstanding opportunity to build an enterprise-grade platform while having a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals.
    Join us and bring your unique talents to do great things!

    More on Big Health:

    Our story

    The idea for Big Health was born when co-founder Peter Hames had trouble getting anything other than medication for his insomnia. He discovered Dr. Colin Espie’s book on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia, and realized what had worked for him could work for millions. Dr. Espie then became Peter’s co-founder, and together they created Big Health and its mission: to help millions back to good mental health.

    Today, we’re charting the future of digital medicine. We combine leading clinical insight with the best in design and technology to provide a scalable approach that’s accessible to all — including communities traditionally underserved by mental health care. And we’re doing it with the backing of industry-leading peer-reviewed research and randomized controlled trials.

    Because we are on a mission to bring millions back to good mental health, we believe it’s essential to reflect the diversity of those we intend to serve. We’re an equal opportunity employer dedicated to building a culturally and experientially diverse team that leads with empathy and respect.

    Additionally, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance. Big Health participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with Form I-9 information from all new employees to confirm that they are authorized to work in the U.S. Big Health does not use E-Verify to pre-screen applicants.
