Software Engineer II, Frontend-leaning

Turquoise Health
San Diego, California, United StatesFull-timePosted Sep 18, 2026

About the role

This is a fully remote role within the United States.

We're looking for a frontend-leaning Software Engineer II who loves building intuitive, data-rich user experiences and wants their work to matter. At Turquoise Health, we're making healthcare pricing transparent and understandable, and the interfaces you build will be how hospitals, insurers, and everyday people actually make sense of that data.

You’ll be a key member of a small, highly skilled engineering team, collaborating closely with the product team to shape the user experience from the component level up to the product decisions that influence them. While this is a full stack role and you'll touch backend systems, your primary impact will be in crafting the UI layer: turning complex healthcare pricing data into clean, interactive, and performant web experiences.

We're a fast moving startup, so you'll move fast too, taking on varied problems, shipping real features, and collaborating directly with the people who use what you build.

Responsibilities

Development of Django-based websites using Python, Postgresql, etc.

Build frontend data visualization components that enable users to explore and interpret complex healthcare pricing data

Write effective, scalable code.

Test and debug programs

Improve functionality of existing systems

Assess and prioritize feature requests

Coordinate with other team members to understand user requirements and provide technical solutions

What you'll bring to the role

3+ years work experience in Python, or strong experience in another programming language and some exposure to Python

Proficiency in front-end technologies such as React, TypeScript and Vue.js

Expertise in at least one popular Python web framework (preferably Django) or a similar popular web framework in another language (like Ruby or Rails)

Good understanding of SQL and how to efficiently use databases to solve problems

Ability to work effectively in a remote environment

Good problem-solving skills

Good communication skills

Desire to learn new technologies

BS in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent experience/knowledge. We are happy to work with strong candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds

Bonus

Experience working on open-source projects

Experience using with git and GitHub

Strong writing skills

Benefits

Competitive pay with equity options

Stellar health care plan options (Medical, Dental & Vision), with FSA, DCFSA, & HSA options

Company-sponsored disability & life insurance

Unlimited PTO

401(k) + 4% Matching

Fully remote work + flexible working hours

$750 work-from-home setup budget

Paid biannual in-person company summits

Quarterly $150 co-hanging stipend to meet up with coworkers

Monthly $100 health and wellness benefit

Generous paid family leave

Annual $1,200 learning & development stipend
