Job Description

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Backend to join our Engineering team.

Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a focus on serving our members. We started Oscar in 2012 to create the kind of health insurance company we would want for ourselves—one that behaves like a doctor in the family.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build reliable and maintainable applications, infrastructure, and interfaces that make interacting with the health care system easier for members and providers. You will work with partners, product managers, and designers to solve challenging problems.

Work Location : This position is based in our Los Angeles office, requiring a hybrid work schedule with 3 days of in-office work per week. Thursdays are a required in-office day for team meetings and events, while your other two office days are flexible to suit your schedule. #LI-Hybrid

  • Independent contributor to their team. Work effectively across the codebase with appropriate guidance from code owners.
  • Make steady, well-paced progress without requiring frequent significant feedback from more senior engineers.
  • Compliance with all applicable laws and regulations
  • Other duties as assigned

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, working with a variety of technologies, and have increasingly impactful accomplishments
  • Experience proposing, experimenting, and iterating, whether it be a new shiny technology or an arcane, ill-conceived data structure; our company may be new, but the health industry isn't!

  • Demonstrates solid understanding of the practical application of CS concepts within their team.
  • Consistently writes stable, correct, and maintainable code with little oversight; writes modular, adaptable code with guidance.
  • Bonus Points

  • Experience owning observability stack tooling, e.g. Grafana, BigQuery, Kubernetes.
  • Experience working in data and engineering tooling, e.g. discovery libraries, data replication, data transfer tools, authentication, authorization libraries.
