To make mental healthcare work for everyone.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of related professional experience in an analytics, data science, or forensic data investigation role
- Expert proficiency in SQL and Python/R for querying large datasets, building data logic, and identifying systemic anomalies
- Demonstrated expertise with data visualization tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, Hex, Mode) to build automated risk-monitoring pipelines and compliance dashboards
- Strong data storytelling abilities, specifically a proven track record of translating complex, technical data discoveries into clear risk assessments for non-technical leadership and legal partners
- Deep understanding of data integrity auditing practices, with experience tracking down discrepancies, gaps, or historical anomalies in complex data infrastructure
Desirable
- While having the preferred qualifications enhances your candidacy, having all of them is not mandatory. We encourage all interested applicants to apply, even those who may not meet every preferred requirement
- Prior experience working directly within a healthcare compliance, legal operations, or Trust & Safety environment (e.g., auditing for fraud, waste, and abuse)
- Strong familiarity with medical coding frameworks (such as CPT, ICD-10, or HCPCS) and health insurance reimbursement pipelines
- Experience working with healthcare claims data, such as insurance claims, billing records, or electronic health records
- Experience within a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment with the ability to handle dynamic, ambiguous analytical priorities and build frameworks from scratch
- A proven proficiency to connect analytics insights directly to corporate risk mitigation strategy, proactively influencing operational safeguards and platform guardrails
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Data Scientist to support Rula’s new Trust and Safety team
- In this role, you will serve as the core technical data expert responsible for protecting our platform, evaluating healthcare claims, and ensuring our operations meet the highest regulatory standards
- This person will be responsible for reviewing billing patterns, identifying data anomalies, and delivering clear analytics to our legal and compliance partners
- This person will apply advanced data querying skills and a strong understanding of medical coding frameworks to safely navigate large, complex datasets
- You will be joining a highly collaborative, deeply supportive team environment where you will report directly into the Sr. Analytics Manager of Business Intelligence
- What makes this role uniquely exciting is its direct connection to our organizational trust: your daily work will build the proactive models and protective guardrails that safeguard Rula’s legal standing, protect patient care, and ensure the business runs securely
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 United Healthcare 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-enabled mental health provision is rather overstuffed, 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. It also rebranded to emphasise its vision to improve not only access to mental health care, but also clinical outcomes.
