We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Partnerships Referrals & Conversions engineering team
This team is focused on managing patient referrals including building scalable referral pathways for partners and referral-centric patient experiences
You will build and evolve systems behind referral management, partner data management, and patient booking experiences
As a Staff Engineer, you’ll play a central role in shaping this direction by bringing order to ambiguity, designing durable systems, and delivering software that directly impacts how partners refer patients to Rula and how those patients experience care

Beyond your own contributions, you’ll amplify the effectiveness of the team by mentoring engineers, unblocking peers, and raising the technical bar across Rula
We’re looking for product-minded engineers who see problems, move quickly, and help the team build the right solution quickly
We expect engineers on this team to leverage AI-assisted development tools, including Claude Code, as a natural part of their workflow, not as a novelty
You’re fluent with these tools and are keeping up with the developing landscape, forming opinions on where they add value and how to get the best out of them to improve velocity and decrease time-to-value
