Job description

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

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join Rula’s Scheduling team, where we provide the tools necessary to bring health providers and patients together. In this role, you will design and build scalable, reliable backend systems critical to the day-to-day operations at Rula, including our scheduling infrastructure, third-party integrations, and telehealth functions. As a key contributor, you’ll identify and solve complex technical challenges, collaborate across teams, and drive innovation that supports our mission to deliver impactful and cohesive solutions.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, related field, or comparable work experience.

• 5+ years of professional engineering experience.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with peers, partners, and stakeholders.

• Experience designing and building highly scalable, reliable, available, and performant systems.

• Experience driving all phases of the development lifecycle: planning, execution, measuring success, and post-launch maintenance.

• Expert understanding of application architecture, API design patterns, data modeling, security, performance, and scaling.

Preferred Qualifications

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.

• Experience at growth-stage companies, migrating legacy systems to microservices, and supervising cross-functional initiatives.

• Demonstrable experience building sources of truth systems, leveraging events and workflows, that integrate with 3rd parties.

• Experience with AWS or equivalent platforms.

• Experience with Node.js, TypeScript, and Kafka.

We're serious about your well-being! As part of our team, full-time employees receive:

• 100% remote work environment (US-based only): Working hours to support a healthy work-life balance, ensuring you can meet both professional and personal commitments

• Attractive pay and benefits: Full transparency of pay ranges regardless of where you live in the United States

• Comprehensive health benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and FSA/HSA

• 401(k) plan access: Start saving for your future

• Generous time-off policies: Including 2 company-wide shutdown weeks each year for self-care (for most employees)

• Paid parental leave: Available for all parents, including birthing, non-birthing, adopting, and fostering

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Support for your mental and physical health

• New hire home office stipend: Set up your workspace for success

• Quarterly department stipend: Fund team-building activities or in-person gatherings

• Wellness events and lunch & learns: Explore a variety of engaging topics

• Community and employee resource groups: Participate in groups that celebrate employee identity and lived experiences, fostering a sense of community and belonging for all
