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’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to help lead Rula’s Growth team in building scalable, high-impact systems that accelerate both patient and provider enrollment. You’ll drive technical strategy and execution across some of our most user-visible surfaces—our marketing site, entry form, provider directory, and marketing automation systems.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in cross-functional environments, enjoys mentoring teammates, and is passionate about building systems that directly influence the company's ability to reach more people in need of care. As a technical leader, you'll shape architecture and engineering standards while partnering closely with Product, Design, and other engineering teams to drive durable, long-term solutions that deliver real business outcomes.

You’ll join a collaborative, fast-moving team with a strong sense of ownership, where you’ll have the opportunity to raise the bar on quality, scalability, and developer experience across the company.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience as a software engineer building and maintaining scalable, production-ready systems

• Strong back-end focused full-stack experience with modern SQL/NoSQL databases and high-level languages such as Java, TypeScript, or Go

• Hands-on experience with microservice and/or event-based architectures

• Proven ability to lead complex technical projects across teams, owning the full development lifecycle from planning and execution to launch and maintenance

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience aligning engineering efforts to business goals

• Experience mentoring engineers, reviewing system architectures, and defining scalable design patterns

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.

• Computer Science degree or equivalent practical experience

• Familiarity with modern frameworks and infrastructure including TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Kafka, and AWS

• Experience working with external APIs and authentication protocols (e.g., OAuth 2.0)

• Comfortable participating in on-call rotations, with the ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues

• Background in building products that require high reliability and accuracy, such as healthcare, finance, or mission-critical systems

• Prior experience in early-stage or high-growth startup environments

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

Our team

We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to our mission of making mental healthcare work for everyone. We are dedicated to having a culture of inclusion that will support our employees in feeling safe, seen, heard, and valued.
