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 hiring a Sr. Software Engineer to enable Rula's Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) team through the development of scalable platforms, services, and internal tooling that power critical business operations. This person will be responsible for building and maintaining systems that support payments, claims submission, and operational workflows across the revenue cycle. This person will apply strong software engineering fundamentals, product thinking, and a continuous improvement mindset to solve complex operational challenges. You will be working closely with engineering, operations, and business stakeholders to improve efficiency, reliability, and cost effectiveness across one of Rula's most important business functions.

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.
• Distributed systems expertise: transaction processing, asynchronous queues, microservices, databases, etc.
• 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.

Technical Stack

Rula's systems are written in Typescript/Node.js or Ruby on Rails, with React frontends. We use Postgres for our databases and everything is hosted on AWS. We also make heavy use of existing tools like Salesforce, Airtable, Typeform, etc. This has enabled us to scale very quickly with a small team but we're now ready to bring much of this work in-house. We're standing up the technical foundation that will power the future of the company. It doesn't matter if you don't have experience with the specific technologies in our stack, we'd still love to connect with you!
