About Us

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, or a lab, or even a straightforward surgery without knowing the cost in advance? That's bonkers, right? We're going to fix that.

We’ve already launched our consumer-facing website that allows anyone to search and compare hospital insurance rates - something never before possible. Now, we're rolling out a suite of new products for providers, payers and patients to clean up the healthcare transaction. We want to change how the industry works from the inside out.

We're a seed-stage startup backed by top VCs. More importantly, we're a multi-talented group of folks (moonlighting as authors, bass players, improv instructors, chefs, linguists and trivia buffs) with a big passion for improving healthcare. We're eager to find ambitious yet well-rounded teammates to join us on this mission.

The Role

We’re looking for a driven, entrepreneurial candidate that wants to impact healthcare’s broken payment infrastructure. We value creative, outside-the-box thinkers that back their ideas with revenue cycle expertise, technical knowledge and action. This role will be a key support function for a new product line and inform product development and feature releases.


In this role, you will:

  • Be a subject matter expert and internal thought leader for Turquoise Health’s price transparency, managed care rate benchmarking, and contract management data.
  • Architect solutions for ingesting large amounts of healthcare payments data - claims, contract rates and demographics data, to name a few.
  • Write and modify ingestion scripts in python.
  • Explore and evaluate new data sources to incorporate into our product to improve our customer experience.
  • Provide client technical support as needed for our price transparency data products.
  • Modify and continue to improve our data warehouse.
  • Help guide the data product roadmap with leadership.
  • Draft internal and external technical documentation.
  • Fluidly meet the sporadic daily tasks of a small, growing startup.
  • 3+ years hospital/payer contracting experience and demonstrated current revenue cycle industry knowledge.
  • 3+ years experience writing python and SQL.
  • Medical billing and coding knowledge is a plus.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset: you prioritize tasks with an eye for evolving business needs.
  • Expert communication of technical details in simple terms to clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Team player with zero ego.
  • Ability to work effectively in a remote environment.
  • Good problem-solving skills.
  • Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience/knowledge. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds.
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Unlimited Time Off
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Work From Home
  • Stock Option Plan


Job Location

Turquoise Health is a fully remote company based in the US. Our founding team is located in California (San Diego) and London. 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 generally seeking US-based candidates, but we are willing to consider strong candidates in other countries.
