Описание вакансии

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.
