Senior Software Engineer, Consumer

This is a fully remote position within the United States. 

We're looking for a driven Senior Software Engineer to join our team and help eliminate the financial complexity of healthcare. We're currently hiring across five engineering teams and will work with you to figure out the best fit based on your skills and interests. We value autonomous contributors who can handle complex technical challenges while collaborating effectively across teams.

We have a small, growing, and highly-capable development team. As a Senior Engineer, you should 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:

• Design and build robust, scalable applications using Python, Django, and modern frontend web technologies

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

• Execute and adapt established processes to achieve technical objectives with minimal guidance

• Write effective, scalable, testable code across full-stack applications (Python/Django, PostgreSQL, JavaScript/Vue)

• Facilitate technical conversations and proactively communicate status and impact to avoid blockers

• Support and guide teammates in understanding technical concepts and established processes

• Iterate quickly with an eye towards value

Here's what you bring to the role:

• 5-7+ years work experience in Python, or strong experience in another programming language with some Python exposure

• Expertise in at least one popular Python web framework (preferably Django) or similar web framework in another language

• Strong understanding of SQL and how to efficiently use databases to solve complex problems

• Solid experience with JavaScript, and one or more modern JS frameworks like Vue or React

• Experience working with APIs, data pipelines, and complex system architectures

• Ability to work effectively with minimal guidance on complex, non-routine problems

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

• Proven ability to facilitate conversations, listen actively, and work effectively in remote environments

• Entrepreneurial mindset: you can problem solve independently while collaborating effectively across teams

• Bachelor's degree, or equivalent experience/knowledge. 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

• AI/ML experience, particularly with emerging patterns like RAG and Agentic Workflows

• 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

• Experience working on open-source projects

Benefits:

• Competitive pay with equity options

• Stellar health care plan options (Medical, Dental & Vision), with FSA, DCFSA, & HSA options

• Company-sponsored disability & life insurance

• Unlimited PTO

• 401(k) + 4% Matching

• Fully remote work + flexible working hours

• $750 work-from-home setup budget

• Paid quarterly in-person co-working weeks

• Quarterly $150 co-hanging stipend to meet up with coworkers

• Monthly $100 health and wellness benefit

• Generous paid family leave

• Annual $1,200 learning & development stipend

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.
