To reduce the cost and complexity of healthcare by simplifying administration.

Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years work experience in Python, or strong experience in another programming language and some exposure to Python
  • Expertise in at least one popular Python web framework (preferably Django) or a similar popular web framework in another language (like Ruby or Rails)
  • Good understanding of SQL and how to efficiently use databases to solve problems
  • Familiarity with front-end technologies (like JavaScript and HTML5)
  • Team spirit
  • Ability to work effectively in a remote environment
  • Good problem-solving skills
  • Good communication skills
  • Desire to learn new technologies
  • BSc in Computer Science, Engineering or relevant field, or equivalent experience/knowledge. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds

Desirable

  • Experience working on open-source projects
  • Experience with git and GitHub
  • Interested in emerging AI development patterns such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Agentic Workflows
  • Experience using Pandas, Numpy, or Dask for manipulating and analyzing large datasets
  • Strong writing skills

What the job involves

  • We are looking for software engineers experienced in Python to join our engineering team
  • We have a small, highly-capable development team
  • Everyone on the team has a large impact on the growth and direction of the development team
  • We work heavily with the following technologies:
  • Python (latest version), Django 3.x, and a wide range of Python libraries
  • SQL databases, specifically Postgresql including features like Full Text Search
  • Data warehousing and processing tools like Amazon Redshift and Apache Airflow
  • Open source web infrastructure components, like memcached and Redis
  • Cloud environments, including AWS and Heroku
  • Large data sets and data pipelines, including private healthcare data
  • A range of machine learning tools, which we use to process and enhance our data
  • As you would be working for a start-up, your role would be wide-ranging. One day you might be building new features for a website, but the next day you might be building an ML model to help classify data
  • Development of Django-based websites using Python, Postgresql, etc
  • Work with large data sets, including scripting imports, exports, data cleaning, analysis, etc
  • Write effective, scalable code
  • Test and debug programs
  • Improve functionality of existing systems
  • Implement security and data protection solutions
  • Assess and prioritize feature requests
  • Coordinate with other team members to understand user requirements and provide technical solutions

Our take

Turquoise Health empowers patients to make informed care decisions through price transparency. By providing a platform for comparing prices across different hospitals, they allow consumers to compare healthcare costs the same way many search for a hotel or flights.

Regardless of new rules and legislation, the healthcare industry has continued to provide limited insight into exact costs of care, keeping patients from understanding the price of care in advance, often resulting in surprise billing. Turquoise Health’s partnerships with companies like Milliman, Komodo Health and Ribbon Health provides data enrichment that the company uses to scale and evolve its platform.

They have raised impressive funding, led by Andreessen Horowitz, and are using the capital to bring price transparency to all healthcare stakeholders: payers, providers, and patients. Turquoise Health have announced their new platform, Clear Contracts (streamlining the direct contracting process between providers and purchasers).

  • Pioneering - We are forging the path for price transparency in healthcare. We empower each other to own and drive this vision every day with an emphasis on continuous learning and creativity
  • Empathetic & Inclusive - Healthcare was founded on the principle of empathy for the patient. We strive to be an extension of that principle by building an organization that cares for its people and seeks out ways to improve
  • Building Smart - We are part realist, part dreamer as we build products for a simpler, more transparent healthcare system. We won’t reinvent the wheel, but we will question whether the wheel is necessary
  • Courageously Optimistic - Changing healthcare is hard. We maintain an unrelenting optimism that we can and are making a difference, all while sticking to our values and doing what is right
