Job Description

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Engineer II to join our SRE 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.

About the role

As a core member of the Site Reliability Engineering team, you will build reliable and maintainable applications, infrastructure, and interfaces that make interacting with the health care system easier for members and providers. The goal of the team is to create scalable and highly reliable software systems with a focus on building and automating systems that are resilient, fault-tolerant, and self-healing, aiming to bridge the gap between development and operations teams.

You will report to the SRE Staff Engineer.

Work Location:

Oscar is a blended work culture where everyone, regardless of work type or location, feels connected to their teammates, our culture and our mission.

If you live within commutable distance to our New York City office (in Hudson Square), our Tempe office (off the 101 at University Dr), or our Los Angeles office (in Marina Del Rey), you will be expected to come into the office at least two days each week. Otherwise, this is a remote / work-from-home role.

You must reside in one of the following states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, or Washington, D.C. Note, this list of states is subject to change. #LI-Remote

Pay Transparency:

The base pay for this role $144,000 - $189,000. You are also eligible for employee benefits, participation in Oscar's unlimited vacation program, company equity grants and annual performance bonuses.

• 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

• 2+ 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!
• Experience with technical contributions, improving the quality of what you create, and are excited to build fault-tolerant, and scalable software systems.
• Demonstrates solid understanding of the practical application of CS concepts within their team.
