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.

As a part of the dev team, you'll build the framework for both our clients and our team to succeed. You will be a pillar in our company as we grow and make our product the best product on the market! 

In this role, you will:

• Take ownership for delivering multiple features, their quality and assist team members in delivering their features.
• Designing and writing code that others can mimic for a web application built on Java, Hibernate ORM with a Postgres database on AWS Aurora, AWS services (including Lambda, SQS, SNS, API Gateway, Cognito, etc.).
• Recommend code improvements to make the product easier to use, manage and maintain.
• Provide recommendations in sprint planning and refinement. Assist teammates in estimating their work.
• Spend time directly with team members to support them in understanding tasks, brainstorm solutions, mentor them on development best practices and review their work to ensure the best product makes it to the customer.
• Be product-minded; focus not only on what needs to be built but why something needs to be built. Explain the why to teammates so they are able to build and test their deliverables.

You may be a great fit for this role if you have:

• At least 5 years of professional experience in software development
• Product Development Methodologies: Agile, Scrum / Lean
• Object-oriented languages: Java
• Database technologies: Hibernate ORM (Object-relational mappers), SQL, RDBMS / Relational databases
• Cloud infrastructure: AWS, particularly using Lambdas in a micro-services architecture
• Source control: Git

Working at Take Command

We’re excited to build a team and culture that reflects our values! We offer competitive pay, health benefits, and equity options to share with this position. We want you to be an owner along with us in revolutionizing healthcare.

• A generously funded ICHRA for medical, dental, and vision premiums and medical expenses. You get to use our own product and we think that’s so exciting and rare!
• Unlimited personal vacation in addition to regular company holidays
• 401(k): 90-day eligibility for 2% match that vests immediately!
• Access to LinkedIn Learning
• We have two beautiful offices conveniently located near The Hill (Dallas) and Holly Commons (Austin). The kitchen is well-stocked and we've designed the space to have lots of different areas to work--lounge on the couch, stand near your colleague at a kiosk desk or hole up in one of our phone rooms!
• Paid parental leave for new parents
• Flexible on where you work – we hope to see you around the office on average 3 days a week especially when white-boarding or building relationships with your colleagues, but you also have the ability to work from home or wherever you'd like when you need to get focus work done.

We secured our Series A funding in 2021 and are thrilled to be able to expand our team.

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!
