Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist, Product to join our Data Science team. Oscar is the first health insurance company built around a full stack technology platform and a focus on serving our members.

About The Role: Oscar is restructuring health care to make it easy, affordable, and seamless for consumers to access high value care. Oscar’s data team is focused on pushing our understanding of this complex landscape.

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.
