Sr. Software Engineer

About the role

Rula is building the foundational layer where AI agents operate autonomously within enterprise workflows. This role is centered on constructing the durable infrastructure that allows intelligent agents to be developed, deployed, and observed at scale. You will own the systems that abstract complexity away from end users while exposing powerful capabilities to engineers. A significant portion of your contribution will focus on enabling non-technical stakeholders to leverage AI through clear interfaces and guided workflows. You will partner closely with product and design to ensure that the tools you build are intuitive and aligned with real user needs. Success in this position requires a balance of deep technical execution and a mindset for enabling others through documentation and support.
