Senior Software Engineer (EAP/Employer)

• As a Fullstack Senior Software Engineer at Rula, you’ll spend your days designing and scaling robust systems within an autonomous, cross-functional team that values high ownership, rapid iteration, and technical excellence
• Joining the Partnerships org, whose mission is to drive patient starts through strategic collaborations with payers, providers, health systems, PCPs, employers, brokers, and other partners, you’ll report to an Engineering Manager and build software that expands our addressable population, enables seamless access to care, and positions Rula as a differentiated strategic partner to the employers and EAPs we work with
• The Employer & EAP team owns the technology behind two of Rula’s fastest-growing channels: direct-to-employer mental health benefits and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
• On the employer side, you’ll build and scale the Employer Portal — the self-service product that lets HR and benefits leaders launch awareness campaigns, manage rollouts, and track utilization for the mental health benefit they’ve extended to their employees
• On the EAP side, you’ll work across the patient and provider experience to support employer-funded, short-term therapy benefits — session eligibility, authorization, and billing — so members can access free, pre-authorized care without friction
• This is a unique opportunity to own a full-stack product surface end to end, from employer-facing tools to the patient and provider flows that deliver on the benefit, with a direct and measurable impact on how many people get connected to care
