Staff Software Engineer – Patient Matching

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Hawaii.

📋 Description

• We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to become part of Rula’s Patient Matching team.

• This team is dedicated to making a significant impact throughout the patient funnel.

• Our objective is not merely to assist patients in locating any provider, but to ensure they find the right provider: someone they trust, feel comfortable with, and wish to continue their care with.

• You will play a pivotal role in guiding this direction by bringing clarity to uncertainty, designing robust systems, and delivering software that directly influences how patients perceive care.

• You will collaborate with your Engineering Manager and work closely with product managers, designers, clinicians, and other engineers to align technical decisions with both patient and business outcomes.

• You will enhance the team's effectiveness by mentoring engineers, removing obstacles for peers, and raising the technical standards across Rula.

• We anticipate that engineers will utilize AI-assisted development tools as an integral part of their workflow.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 8 years of experience in developing and maintaining scalable, production-ready systems that have a measurable business impact.

• Strong proficiency in API design, data modeling, and constructing systems that are dependable, maintainable, and high-performing.

• Advanced System Architecture Experience: Demonstrated ability to design and evolve architectures while weighing trade-offs and selecting an appropriate approach for the given problem.

• Technical Leadership: Proven track record of leading intricate technical projects across teams, shaping scope, estimates, and execution while ensuring alignment of technical decisions with business objectives.

• Communication & Alignment: Exceptional collaboration and communication skills with the capacity to build consensus, identify risks early, and clarify ambiguous problem areas.

• Team Multiplier: Experience in mentoring engineering teams, reviewing architectures, and elevating the technical standards across organizations.

• AI-Assisted Development: Proficient with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) and capable of articulating both their benefits in expediting delivery and their potential risks or need for human judgment.

🏝️ Benefits

• 100% remote work environment: Flexible working hours to support a healthy work-life balance, allowing you to fulfill both professional and personal commitments (must reside in the United States, currently not hiring in Hawaii).

• Competitive compensation and benefits: Full transparency of pay ranges regardless of your location in the United States.

• Comprehensive health benefits: Includes medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and FSA/HSA.

• Access to a 401(k) plan: Start saving for your future.

• Generous time-off policies: Includes 2 company-wide shutdown weeks each year for self-care (for most employees).

• Paid parental leave: Available for all parents, including birthing, non-birthing, adopting, and fostering.

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Support for your mental and physical health.

• New hire home office stipend: Set up your workspace for success.

• Quarterly department stipend: For fun team-building activities or in-person gatherings.

• Wellness events and lunch & learns: Engage with a variety of interesting topics.
