Senior Software Engineer, Transactions

We're looking for a driven Senior Software Engineer to join our team and help eliminate the financial complexity of healthcare.

We have a small, growing, and highly-capable development team. As a Senior Engineer, you will need to be comfortable working independently on complex assignments with minimal guidance. As you would be working for a fast-growing start-up, your role would be wide-ranging. In this role, we're looking for someone who can successfully execute on non-routine technical problems and deliver consistent high-quality work.

Responsibilities:

• End to end delivery of new features– from problem definition and technical design through implementation and deployment

• Architect robust, scalable full-stack applications in the Python ecosystem using modern frontend technologies (e.g., Vue / JavaScript)

• Work autonomously on complex assignments requiring specialist contribution and cross-team collaboration

• Operate effectively in a small, high-leverage team where individual ownership meaningfully impacts company outcomes

• Be accountable for high-quality code with a high bar for reliability, performance and security

• Drive technical discussions, surface risks early and communicate progress and impact to stakeholders

• Continuously iterate on shipped products based on feedback, usage data, and evolving business needs

Here's what you bring to the role:

• 5+ years professional experience with Python

• Strong experience building and shipping production systems using Django

• Proven track record of independently delivering complex, high-impact projects from concept through production

• Strong command of SQL with experience designing and optimizing schemas and queries for non-trivial data problems

• Solid background with JavaScript and frameworks such as Vue or React

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts clearly

• Entrepreneurial mindset, identifying problems, proposing solutions and driving execution

• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds

Nice to haves:

• Healthcare domain experience or understanding of healthcare data and pricing models

• Experience with data analysis tools like Pandas, NumPy, or similar for large dataset analysis

• DevOps experience with deployment pipelines, infrastructure as code, or monitoring systems

About Turquoise Health

At Turquoise, we're making healthcare pricing simpler, more transparent, and lower cost for everyone. Have you or a family member ever gotten an MRI, a lab, or even a straightforward surgery without knowing the cost in advance? That's bonkers, right? We're working to fix that.

We're a Series B startup backed by top VCs a16z, Box Group, Bessemer Venture Partners, Tiger Global, Adams Street, and Yosemite. Most importantly, we're an accomplished group of folks (moonlighting as authors, bass players, improv instructors, chefs, linguists, and trivia buffs) with a passion for improving healthcare. We're eager to find ambitious and well-rounded teammates to join us on this mission.

We strongly encourage BIPOC, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks to apply for any open roles of interest. Healthcare affects all people differently, but it significantly affects those in underserved communities. With a robust, diverse team, we are stronger and better equipped to change the future of healthcare for all.

Job Location

Turquoise Health is a fully remote company based in the US. We work with team members and contractors in the US and around the world, but we operate on US business hours and work with clients entirely based in the US. For this role, we are seeking US-based candidates.
