About this role
Rula is a remote-first company dedicated to improving mental health care. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and scale robust systems while tackling complex architectural challenges that impact patient care, all within a cross-functional team focused on technical excellence.
Responsibilities:
- Designing and scaling robust systems within an autonomous, cross-functional team
- Tackle complex architectural challenges that directly impact how thousands of patients find and receive life-changing care
- Lead critical technical initiatives and shape an AI-forward engineering culture while building products that have a profound human impact
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of building and scaling web applications in a production environment
- 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
- 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 junior engineers
- Experience working in the healthcare technology space, specifically with HIPAA-compliant systems or behavioral health platforms
- 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
- Advanced knowledge of database design and performance tuning for both relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational data stores
- Previous experience thriving in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment where you've helped scale an engineering organization
- Experience transitioning from monolithic architectures to microservices or event-driven systems
