The ideal candidate will be responsible for building scalable and reliable systems that ensure accuracy and efficiency in claims and payment processes, with opportunities to apply AI for process automation and improvement. This role offers a blend of technical leadership and hands-on development, requiring expertise in leading cross-team projects and mentoring other engineers.

The role requires 7+ years of professional software engineering experience and demonstrated leadership in technical projects. The successful candidate will serve as a subject matter expert, drive technical excellence, and contribute to Oscar's mission of revolutionizing healthcare through technology. This is an excellent opportunity for a senior technical leader who wants to make a significant impact in healthcare technology while working with cutting-edge systems and leading engineering teams.
