Data Scientist

About Us

At Turquoise Health, 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’ve already launched our consumer-facing website that allows anyone to search and compare hospital insurance rates; something once impossible. Now, we're rolling out a suite of new products for providers, payers, employers, and patients to clean up the healthcare transaction. We want to change how the industry works from the inside out.

We're a Series A startup backed by top VCs a16z, Box Group, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Tiger Global. Most importantly, we're a multi-talented 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.

The Role

We’re looking for a driven, entrepreneurial candidate that's motivated to revamp 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.

Responsibilities

• Create data pipelines and connect new data sources (claims, contract rates and demographics data, eg) to empower internal and external business folks
• Model payment scenarios with attention to quality, patient volume and market benchmark rates
• Distribute insights tangibly downstream through our product, reports and publications
• Apply evolving industry standard data science techniques and toolkits to your analyses
• 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
• Draft internal and external technical documentation
• Fluidly meet the sporadic daily tasks of a small, growing startup
• Help build out the rest of the data team at Turquoise

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience/knowledge. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds
• 2+ years demonstrated experience developing custom data models and distributing them in digestible end products
• Fluency in your language of choice for analyzing large, sprawling datasets
• SQL knowledge a must
• Python experience preferred
• You are a spreadsheet master, which allows you to communicate with customers and analysts. But your work goes far beyond Excel
• Revenue cycle, healthcare payments and/or medical billing experience is a plus
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you prioritize tasks with an eye for evolving business needs. You can problem solve independently
• 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

Benefits

• Stellar Health Care Plan options (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Unlimited Paid Time Off

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.
