Staff Software Engineer - Provider

At Rula, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We are dedicated to creating a world where mental healthcare is accessible, evidence-based, and compassionate.

Rula is a remote-first company. We currently hire in most U.S. states, with the exception of Hawaii.

About the Role

At Rula, maintaining high trust with payers, patients, and providers is the bedrock of accessible mental healthcare. We’re seeking a Staff Software Engineer to step in as the foundational leader of our nascent Provider Onboarding Engineering team within the Provider organization. In this high-impact role, you will serve as the chief architect of our new scope, driving product-based implementations that enable new capabilities for Provider Onboarding across both internal and external-facing users and workflows.

You will lead the charge on both product architecture and operational, process-based solutions—building robust custom tools and leveraging top-tier industry solutions to exponentially improve our Provider Onboarding tools across pricing, payments, client panel, and forms. If you are excited to establish a brand-new engineering domain from the ground up, mentor senior engineers, and build scalable systems that directly protect a vital mental health ecosystem, this is your next playground.
