Job Description
Staff Software Engineer – Patient Matching
Rula
• We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join Rula’s Patient Matching team. • This team is focused on driving meaningful impact across the patient funnel. • Our goal isn’t to help patients find any provider, but to help them find the right provider: someone they trust, feel comfortable with, and want to continue care with. • 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 patients experience care. • You’ll partner with your Engineering Manager, working closely with product managers, designers, clinicians, and other engineers to align technical decisions with patient and business outcomes. • You’ll amplify the effectiveness of the team by mentoring engineers, unblocking peers, and raising the technical bar across Rula. • We expect engineers to leverage AI-assisted development tools as a natural part of their workflow.
Job Requirements
- 8+ years of experience building and maintaining scalable, production-ready systems with measurable business impact.
- Strong expertise in API design, data modeling, and building systems that are reliable, maintainable, and performant.
- Advanced System Architecture Experience: Proven experience designing and evolving architectures with the ability to weigh tradeoffs and choose a suitable approach for the problem at hand.
- Technical Leadership: Proven ability to lead complex technical projects across teams, shaping scope, estimates, and execution while aligning technical decisions with business goals.
- Communication & Alignment: Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to build consensus, surface risks early, and bring clarity to ambiguous problem spaces.
- Team Multiplier: Experience mentoring engineering teams, reviewing architectures, and raising the technical bar across organizations.
- AI-Assisted Development: Fluent with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) and able to articulate both where they accelerate delivery and where they introduce risk or require human judgment.
Benefits
- 100% remote work environment: Working hours to support a healthy work-life balance, ensuring you can meet both professional and personal commitments (must be based in United States, currently not hiring in Hawaii)
- Attractive pay and benefits: Full transparency of pay ranges regardless of where you live in the United States
- Comprehensive health benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and FSA/HSA
- 401(k) plan access: Start saving for your future
- Generous time-off policies: Including 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: Fun team-building activities or in-person gatherings
- Wellness events and lunch & learns: Explore a variety of engaging topics
- Community and employee resource groups: Participate in groups that celebrate employee identity and lived experiences, fostering a sense of community and belonging for all

Role Description We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of architecture, strategy, and execution. In this role, you’ll help define and evolve the technical direction of the platforms that power our collectibles ecosystem. You’ll lead architectural discovery, guide system design across teams, and ensure we’re building scalable, resilient systems aligned with long-term business goals. The role is eligible for a remote hire in the US. While you will remain capable of contributing code when needed, your primary focus will be on driving technical vision, enabling teams, and shaping the future of our event-driven architecture. What You’ll Do - Lead architectural design and technical discovery for complex, distributed systems across our platform. - Define and evolve system boundaries, service interactions, and data flow within our event-driven ecosystem. - Guide the design of scalable, fault-tolerant systems leveraging asynchronous communication patterns (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka, SNS/SQS). - Partner closely with product, engineering leadership, and cross-functional teams to translate business needs into long-term technical strategy. - Provide technical leadership across multiple teams, ensuring consistency in patterns, practices, and system design. - Drive key technical initiatives, including system modernization, performance optimization, and reliability improvements. - Contribute hands-on when appropriate—especially in prototyping, critical path development, or de-risking complex solutions. - Mentor and coach engineers, elevating technical thinking through design reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge sharing. - Establish and promote best practices in system design, observability, and operational excellence. - Help guide incident response and postmortems, focusing on systemic improvements and resilience. Qualifications - 8+ years of experience building and evolving production-grade, distributed systems. - Deep expertise in designing event-driven and message-oriented architectures at scale. - Strong proficiency with Elixir and the Phoenix framework (LiveView experience is a plus), with the ability to guide others even when not directly coding day-to-day. - Proven experience leading architectural decisions across multiple teams or domains. - Strong understanding of system design trade-offs, data consistency models, and service decomposition. - Experience with AWS and cloud-native architectures (e.g., Lambda, S3, RDS, ECS/EKS) and modern CI/CD pipelines. - Ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels—connecting long-term vision with practical implementation. - Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence technical direction and align stakeholders. - Experience driving initiatives with minimal direction and high ownership. - Interest in leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate discovery and improve engineering effectiveness. Nice to Have - Experience with RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes (EKS). - Familiarity with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation). - Experience shaping or evolving microservices architectures at scale. - Familiarity with GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD tooling. - Background in performance optimization for real-time or event-driven systems. - Interest in sports, collectibles, or fan engagement platforms.
