Engineering Manager

At Turquoise Health we’re working to make surprise healthcare bills a thing of the past by building software to make pricing clearer, simpler and lower cost. 

We’ve built a fully-remote and highly collaborative team of multi-talented folks who share a passion for solving tough problems - and few would argue that our current healthcare billing system is an extremely tricky problem. 

We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to join the product organization in our engineering team and lead a team of full-stack developers. As a small, geographically-distributed, autonomous team, our engineers have an outsized impact on the growth and direction of Turquoise Health. We work heavily with the following technologies:

• Python3, Django 3.x, and a wide range of Python libraries
• SQL databases, specifically Postgres 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 Airflow pipelines, crunching TBs of private healthcare data every day
• A range of machine learning tools, which we use to process and enhance our data

As you would be working for a Series B start-up, your role would be wide-ranging. One day you might be coaching a developer through a building new features for the website, but the next day you might be tracking down data flows across pipelines and varying infrastructure looking to inject new aggregations. You would get to work with a wide range of exciting tools to find pragmatic solutions to challenging real-world problems. You would be able to leverage what you already know while having the opportunity to learn new things constantly.

We strongly encourage BIPOC, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks to apply for any open roles of interest. Building a truly diverse team is a challenge that we do not shy away from. 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.
