About Take Command
Take Command is a start-up on a mission to improve the healthcare system, starting with health insurance. Pragmatically speaking, we help employers reimburse employees for individual insurance instead of offering a traditional one-size-fits-all group plan. We believe this model can empower employees (when they have the right support) to be savvy healthcare consumers and have a transformative impact on the entire healthcare system.
Let’s be honest—health insurance is usually a confusing, frustrating, and even emotional experience for people. We want to fix that with a new model, great technology, and a superior user experience. We have made a great start, but we need your help to fully realize our long-term vision.
About the Role
Take Command is building the financial foundation for a better health insurance experience. As more employers use our platform to reimburse employees for individual insurance, how money moves through our system becomes critical to making that experience affordable, reliable, and easy to understand.
We’re looking for a Staff Engineer with real experience building ledger, payments, card, reimbursement, or money movement systems in production.
This is a senior role with meaningful influence over the technical and product direction of our financial systems. You’ll help us make sound architectural decisions, avoid common pitfalls in financial system design, and raise the team’s understanding of proven ledger and payment patterns.
The role is full-stack, but heavily backend-leaning. Most of your work will be in Java, Postgres, and AWS, with occasional React work where needed. Over time, we expect more of our stack to move toward TypeScript, and you’ll have an opportunity to help shape that transition.

More About Us
We secured our Series B funding in 2023 and are thrilled to be able to expand our team. Despite being a small startup in a land of health insurance giants, we’re the recognized industry leader for what we do (health insurance reimbursements) and passionate about bringing it to market because we know we can help fix a broken system and improve our clients’ wellbeing and health outcomes. We’ve been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, and other national healthcare publications and are excited about our growth opportunities.
Take Command knows diversity and inclusion among our teammates is integral to our company’s success and growth. Our vision is to recruit, develop, and retain the best team from a diverse candidate pool. This has mostly been about us, but we’d love to hear from you--we can’t wait to hear your story!
*Take Command is an equal opportunity employer! We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
