Senior Data Scientist, Lucie

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist, Lucie 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 the complex landscape of the healthcare 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.

Lucie is Oscar’s new all-in-one storefront that transforms how consumers shop for healthcare. As a Senior Data Scientist on the team, you will help to strategize, build, and measure the launch of the business and product. This is a highly dynamic role - you will work with both legacy data and systems as well as building modern infrastructure and models.

You will partner closely with product, engineering, operations, and business leads to scope new problems and opportunities, and bring them to life. This is a builder-focused role: the ideal candidate is energized by working in an ambiguous space and transforming it into well-engineered, validated, and maintainable production systems. You will own projects end-to-end—scoping problems with stakeholders, designing the technical approach, implementing pipelines and models, validating outputs against existing processes, and iterating after launch.

You will report into the Director, Data Science

Work Location: This position is based in our New York City 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
