Job description
Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Data Scientist II to join our Data team.
Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a relentless 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.
About the role
Oscar's data team is focused on pushing our understanding of this complex landscape of health care and insurance business. Insurance companies sit on a trove of data that is both broad and deep, spanning financial claims, clinical medical records, and rich product interaction data from our members. Connecting the dots across these datasets gives us unique insight into how the healthcare system functions and allows us to improve care coordination, better manage risk, build higher-performing provider networks, and create a standout consumer experience in our product.
As a Data Scientist II you will drive data science projects across multiple teams and domains. In this role, you’ll take ownership of analytical and modeling work, contribute to technical direction, and partner closely with business, engineering, product and data stakeholders to deliver impactful solutions.
This is a mid-level role for data scientists who can operate independently, manage ambiguity, and apply advanced analytics or modeling techniques with minimal oversight.
You will report into a leader on the Data team (Senior Data Scientist and above). This posting is representative of multiple roles, and final team placement will be determined during the interview process.
Work Location
This position is a hybrid role based in our New York City office, Los Angeles Office, or Tempe 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
