Software Engineer II

At Rula, we are a remote-first company that believes 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

At Rula, exceptional patient outcomes are powered by world-class engineering.

You will collaborate closely with other members of the teams to address complex technical challenges, innovate, and improve our offerings. You will get to work across all of the foundational services that impact Rula’s Patient Experience, both by contributing directly to our product and its development, as well as by driving meaningful technical conversations. Your contributions will support our mission to make mental healthcare work for everyone.
