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.

You will work with partners, product managers, and designers to solve challenging problems.

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, working with a variety of technologies, and have increasingly impactful accomplishments

  • Demonstrates solid understanding of the practical application of CS concepts within their team.
