What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Sr AI Engineer to help bring AI into the core of how Rula builds better mental healthcare experiences
- You’ll work closely with product, design, operations, and engineering to ship AI-powered features that solve real problems for patients, providers, and internal teams
- Day to day, you’ll move between prototyping, building production systems, improving quality, and learning quickly from real-world usage

Our take
More than half of adults in the US will be diagnosed with a mental illness during their lifetime, and yet inaccessibility of treatment remains a huge problem. That’s what Rula aims to solve, with its platform that matches users to therapists that are covered by their insurance.
The company, formerly known as Path, is partnered with a number of major health insurers, including UnitedHealthcare and Anthem, making it an accessible service for millions of Americans. It allows users to browse therapists almost instantly, with just a short questionnaire to fill in before their matches are shown.
Though the market for tech services offering mental health provision is an overstuffed one, with giants like BetterHelp as well as newer competitors, Rula's partnerships with insurers set it apart. The business has been steadily growing, and significantly bolstered its executive team in 2023. Its recent rebrand was designed to emphasise its vision to improve not only access to mental health care, but also clinical outcomes.
