Job description

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Fullstack 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.

Fullstack Engineers at Oscar work on a wide range of projects that positively impact many end user groups, including our millions of members.

You will report to an Engineering Leader (Senior Manager or above).
