Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in Software Engineering; building, scaling, and maintaining production-ready web applications
- Strong competency in API design, data modeling, and developing distributed systems optimized for performance, correctness, and resilience
- Strong capabilities in modern full-stack frameworks, balancing either a frontend lean (managing complex user-facing flows, state, and accessibility) or a backend lean (handling complex business logic and integrations) while iterating tightly with Product and Design
- Proven history of owning technical initiatives end-to-end, navigating engineering tradeoffs, mapping clear scope/estimates, and proactively highlighting risks early
- Experience boosting team dynamics through structured code reviews, technical documentation, pairing, and mentoring junior engineers
- Active proficiency with modern AI-assisted development tooling (e.g., Claude Code) to accelerate product velocity, alongside an understanding of where these tools present technical risk or require oversight
Desirable
- Degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical application history
- Prior experience working in an evolving, high-growth startup environment or the healthcare tech sector
- Familiarity with building or consuming data-intensive pipelines, metric capture workflows, or system integrations
- Exposure to modern infrastructure practices, cloud environments, CI/CD mechanisms, and observability suites
- Comfortable operating in an on-call rotation framework and participating in system reliability practices
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join Rula’s Patient Onboarding team
- This team is focused on driving meaningful impact across the patient funnel
- Our goal isn’t to get patients through the door, but to get them through the right door: an experience that feels fast, trustworthy, and frictionless enough that they actually complete it and get the care they need
- In practice, that means building and evolving systems behind patient acquisition surfaces, registration flows, eligibility verification, and the end-to-end onboarding experience that converts someone who needs care into someone who’s getting it
- In this role, you’ll design and deliver reliable, high-quality product experiences that directly impact growth and patient outcomes
- You’ll own projects end-to-end, partnering closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and other engineers to run experiments, ship improvements, and iterate based on real data
- Our work is experiment-heavy and we build systems for scale by optimizing for performance, correctness, and resilience as the business grows
- You’ll also be a technical leader on the team: mentoring others, surfacing constraints and tradeoffs early, and modeling strong ownership, urgency, and follow-through
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.
