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.
Technical Stack
We are open to considering candidates with backgrounds across any technical stack, so please do not allow lack of experience with our technical stack to hold you back from applying! 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.
About the Role
We are seeking a Principal Engineer to join Rula’s dynamic engineering team. This role is designed for an engineering leader who thrives in high-priority, cross-functional projects that are crucial but not confined to a single team. You’ll be at the forefront of designing and implementing scalable systems while driving technical excellence across the organization.
The ideal candidate will excel in navigating ambiguity, rapidly shifting priorities, and delivering impactful solutions across various domains. You will work closely with scrum teams focused on partnerships and their integrations with patient and provider surface areas, as well as core infrastructure patterns that support all engineering teams.
If you’re excited about making a tangible impact across the entire application surface, while mentoring and collaborating with a broad set of engineers, this role is for you. Join us in shaping the future of our technology and delivering innovative solutions that power our mission.

What We Do
We believe that when access to quality mental healthcare improves, patients, providers, and payers all benefit. And that’s why we’re on a mission to make mental healthcare work for everyone. We remove barriers and strengthen connection points between patients, providers, and payers to improve mental health outcomes.
With Rula, it’s easy for patients to find a high-quality therapist or psychiatric practitioner who meets their unique needs, accepts insurance, and is taking new patients.
For providers, Rula offers the flexibility of private practice, while also filling caseloads and offering the necessary behind-the-scenes support. Rula handles the marketing, credentialing, billing, and admin tasks so providers can focus on what they do best: providing care to those in need.
Rula is a remote-first company with teams who specialize in the areas of Clinical, Partnerships, Operations, Marketing, Engineering, Product, and more. We’re committed to reimagining how mental health is treated.
Why Work With Us
As a remote company, we're intentional about the culture we're building. We write things down, we communicate clearly, we follow-up, and we follow-through. We have high expectations for our team, and empower individuals with a high degree of trust and autonomy. In turn, we expect that individuals operate with a sense of ownership in everything.
