About Rula

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being.

We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.

About the Role

As a Fullstack Senior Software Engineer at Rula, you'll spend your days designing and scaling robust systems within an autonomous, cross-functional team that values high ownership, rapid iteration, and technical excellence.

Joining the Partnerships orgs, whose mission is to drive patient starts through strategic collaborations with payers, providers, health systems, PCPs, employers, brokers, and other partners, you'll report to an Engineering Manager and build software that expands our addressable population, enables seamless access to care, closes the loop with partners' care teams, and positions Rula as a differentiated strategic partner.

The Partnerships New Verticals team focuses on emerging growth areas such as Government, Employers, and PCPs. This includes supporting government-sponsored plans like Medicare FFS, enabling employers to provide mental health care access to their employees, and helping PCPs connect patients to high-quality mental health care. This is a unique opportunity to lead critical technical initiatives that have a profound human impact in our emerging growth areas.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of building and scaling web applications in a production environment.
• Proven experience leading high-priority technical projects from conception to delivery, including the ability to navigate trade-offs and align stakeholders.
• A passion for fostering a high-performing engineering culture through code reviews, technical documentation, and mentoring peers.
• Deep expertise in modern full-stack technologies—ideally TypeScript, React, and Node.js—along with a strong grasp of functional and object-oriented programming.
• Proficiency in leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot) to accelerate delivery velocity, automate boilerplate, and enhance code quality.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement complex, distributed systems that are scalable, maintainable, and secure.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience developing or integrating LLM-based features or agentic workflows into production applications.
• Strong familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/GCP), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipeline optimization.
• Previous experience thriving in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment where you've helped scale an engineering organization.
• Advanced knowledge of database design and performance tuning for both relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational data stores.
