About Rula

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 Senior Engineer to join Rula’s Infrastructure Core Services team—the team that builds the backbone of our mental health platform. In this role, you’ll take ownership of critical services that keep our systems secure, scalable, and lightning-fast, including authentication, authorization, event-driven architecture (Kafka), and other core components that every Rula engineer relies on.

If you’re the kind of engineer who loves enabling others to move faster and smarter, this is the team for you! Your work will empower our product teams to ship with confidence by building and delivering high-quality internal tools, SDKs, and shared services that are intuitive, reliable, and widely adopted across the org.

If you thrive on writing clean, tested, and thoughtfully designed code, and take pride in building infrastructure that quietly but powerfully supports everything above it, we’d love to have you shape the future of Rula’s engineering foundation.

• Experience building thorough, well-designed, and tested code, with a high level of personal quality control that leverages standard design concepts and patterns.
• Experience leading projects without supervision and collaborating within the team and cross-functionally across the org.
