What the job involves
- We are hiring a Staff Software Engineer to join the Patient Experience Team at Rula

- Our work directly drives patient engagement, retention, and operational efficiency
- As a Staff Engineer, you will lead the design and development of high-impact, full-stack systems and play a key role in defining the team’s technical direction
- You’ll collaborate closely with product and engineering partners to guide architectural decisions and ensure our systems are reliable, secure, and scalable

- Your work will have a direct and lasting impact on how people access and experience mental healthcare
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, containing giants like BetterHelp as well as newer competitors, Rula's partnerships with insurers do mark it out against the crowd. The business has been steadily growing, and significantly bolstered its executive team in 2023. Its recent rebrand was designed to emphasize its vision to improve not only access to mental health care, but also clinical outcomes.
