Our Mission: to build the most delightful healthcare experience and make it accessible to everyone. About Us We're a team of engineers, clinicians, and operators fundamentally redesigning how healthcare works for the 80 million uninsured and under-insured Americans. We started with a simple vertically integrated primary and urgent care health plan designed to make high-quality concierge care accessible to everyone - from the Grammy winners that have used us to our uninsured members. Our network of providers comes directly to our members, either virtually or through in-home concierge visits.
Careers at Vitable Health
We asked ourselves — What if better care didn’t cost more?
That’s why we built Vitable: the health benefits platform making healthcare better for employers of everyday workers. We bring accessible, high-quality care to over 85 million uninsured and underinsured Americans. Unlike traditional options, our suite of health benefits is designed with real people at the center.
Vitable empowers businesses to become better employers by making it easy to offer healthcare benefits to their teams. It's a better experience for employees and a smarter solution for employers.
Simply put, we’re built for better.
We’re growing rapidly and looking for eager team members who are hungry for change and passionate about delivering better care to the everyday worker. Does that sound like you?

You care. About people, about purpose, about doing work that matters.
You’re the kind of person who sees a broken system and asks, “How can I fix this?” You’re not afraid of a challenge—in fact, you’re energized by it. You move fast, but you think things through. You don’t just get things done, you get the right things done.
At Vitable, we thrive on autonomy and collaboration. That means you have the space to own your work, make smart decisions, and lead with initiative, but you also know when to pull others in, ask questions, and work as a team.
You’ll fit right in if you’re:
- Motivated by mission
- Someone who gets sh*t done (and does it well)
- Curious, thoughtful, and clear on your “why”
- A self-starter who can figure things out
- Empathetic, honest, and genuinely care about others
- Collaborative, but confident in working independently
- Hungry for change—and ready to help make it happen
We care deeply about the people we serve, and we care about our team just as much. We support each other, we show up with heart, and we have fun while we do it.
No egos, no jerks. Just good humans doing great work.
