What's It Like to Work at Rula?

Rula Employee Perspectives

What is your role and what attracted you to your company? Describe the moment when you knew you’d found the right fit.

What attracted me the most is Rula’s vision on mental healthcare, especially the key words “for everyone,” indicating its ambitious scale, quality and impact. When I met a few Rula leaders in person in Los Angeles, I knew I had found the team and partners I wanted to work with. That is the most important fit for me.

 

What’s your favorite part about working at your company? The projects, the team culture, the opportunities for career advancement?

The opportunity size of AI for mental healthcare is huge and Rula has the right foundation to make AI-assisted therapy a reality — the healthy business, the high-quality care providers, the fast iterative execution style, just to name a few. This is my most favorite part of working at Rula.

 

What advice would you give to jobseekers looking to join your growing team?

AI is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity for us AI/ML engineers and software engineers in general. To seize the opportunity, everyone is expected to work hard. However we care about each others’ well being, so we don’t expect you to work 70 hours per week (some companies do); instead, we help each other to work smart to move fast. Having a mindset of experimentation, frequent iterative improvements instead of one big drop, quick prototyping and demos, embracing AI as coding assistants, etc. is the key to your success on our growing team.

We're a 100% remote company and spread across the entire US. We create Slack channels for each new city and add new employees in that city as they join, creating local connection as we quickly scale! We're also doing company-paid networking lunches for our employees and get to know you sessions with our Providers to build community!

I enjoy working at Rula because we make a difference in people's lives on a regular basis, including my friends and family. If you know how hard it is to find an available local therapist who takes your insurance, you know how meaningful our work is, and I'm proud of that.
