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 are looking for a Data Ingestion and Parsing Engineer. Turquoise is built upon the pricing data we aggregate, making this role critical to our success. You will combine raw information from various sources to create a pristine data pipeline into our pricing analytics warehouse. If you are analytical, detail-oriented, skilled in turning messy data into clean data, and you possess a desire to impact healthcare’s broken payment infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you.

In this role, you will:

• Build solutions for ingesting large amounts of healthcare payments data - claims, contract rates and demographics data, to name a few.
• Write and modify data ingestion scripts in python to convert raw pricing data into clean, standardized data.
• Explore and evaluate new data sources to incorporate into our product to improve our customer experience.
• Modify and continue to improve our data warehouse.
• Be a subject matter expert and internal thought leader for Turquoise Health’s price transparency, managed care rate benchmarking, and contract management data.
• 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.

• Expertise in python represented through 2+ years of job experience or equivalent (python knowledge will be evaluated in a hands on interview).
• Skilled in SQL.
• Extremely detail oriented.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Team player with zero ego.
• Ability to work effectively in a remote environment.
• Bachelor’s degree, OR equivalent experience/knowledge. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds.

Bonus

• Enjoy turning messy data into clean data.
• 1+ year(s) hospital/payer contracting experience and demonstrated current revenue cycle industry knowledge.
• Basic familiarity with medical coding (to the level of knowing the difference between a CPT code and a MS-DRG code or the difference between a Facility fee and a Professional fee).
• Exposed to Postgresql databases and/or data warehousing products like Amazon Redshift.

• Stellar Health Care Plan options (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Unlimited Time Off
• 401K + Matching
• Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
• Work From Home + Paid Remote Co-working Weeks
• Stock Option Plan
• Monthly Wellness Benefit
• Annual Learning & Development Benefit
• Company-provided equipment (laptop, mouse, keyboard, monitor)
