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.
Rula is a remote-first company. We currently hire in most U.S. states, with the exception of Hawaii.
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join Rula’s Provider Growth, Acquisition & Supply Management team. Our goal is to ensure that Rula has the right providers to meet patient demand. Access to care is fundamentally a supply problem, and our team is here to solve that by driving meaningful impact on how providers find Rula, onboard, and build sustainable and flexible practices on our platform. Our work sits at the intersection of provider experience and marketplace dynamics, increasing supply where it matters and reducing friction in how providers deliver care – so patients can find help quickly.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll play a central role in shaping this direction by bringing order to ambiguity, designing durable systems, and delivering software that directly impacts the provider experience. We’re looking for product-minded engineers who see problems, move quickly, and help the team build the right solution quickly.
