Requirements
- About the Role At Rula, this role owns the AI foundation that determines how, and how well, AI shows up across mental healthcare.
- The focus isn’t on prototypes or isolated features, but on building durable, production-grade generative AI systems that directly power patient engagement, provider workflows, and clinical operations at scale.
- The work includes designing core AI platforms, setting technical standards for safety, reliability, and performance, and making principald decisions about how advanced AI is introduced into a regulated, high-stakes care environment.
- The goal is simple but hard: make AI genuinely useful in clinical contexts, without compromising trust or outcomes.
- The opportunity is less about chasing the frontier for its own sake and more about shaping how AI responsibly becomes part of everyday mental healthcare, setting direction not just for what we build next, but for how AI evolves inside the care ecosystem over time. Required
- experience with Public Cloud (AWS, GCP, etc.), 5+ years designing and scaling distributed systems. - 5+ years of deep

- Experience architecting secure and compliant AI solutions in regulated environments (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.). - Familiarity with human-in-the-loop systems and clinical decision support frameworks. -
