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.

As a Platform Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for managing our web platform, including deployment, operations and performance. You will lead efforts in monitoring and usage optimization to improve site performance and reliability. You will build operational support tools for standing up new web applications and managing existing ones to enable our Platform Engineering teams to build and deploy new features quickly.

As you would be working for a start-up, your role would be wide-ranging. 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.
