About the role

<p>Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring an Engineering Manager to join our Engineering team.</p> <p>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.</p> <h3>About the role</h3> <p>As an Engineering Manager, you will oversee every stage of engineering development, from conceptualization and design to rigorous testing and successful deployment, ensuring our engineering projects drive innovation and provide value. You'll lead engineers to help them design for stability, performance, and scalability across services or clients.</p> <p>In this role, you will identify and solve the most valuable business problems by blending deep user empathy and sharp product intuition with a thorough understanding of Oscar’s operating model and business levers. You will serve as a strategic partner to engineering, data, and design to lead complex, cross-domain initiatives, ensuring direct alignment with senior leadership on priorities and outcomes. You will act as force multiplier—mentoring engineers, influencing product practices, and consistently raising the bar on technical quality, organizational clarity, and business impact.</p> <p><strong>Work Location:&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Oscar is a blended work culture where everyone, regardless of work type or location, feels connected to their teammates, our culture and our mission.&nbsp;</p> <p>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 three days each week.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Pay Transparency:</strong></p> <p>The base pay for this role is:&nbsp;<span data-sheets-root="1">$163,944 - $215,176 </span>per year. You are also eligible for employee benefits, participation in Oscar’s unlimited vacation program, company equity grants, and annual performance bonuses.</p> <h3>Responsibilities</h3> <ul> <li class="dF3vjf" data-sfc-root="c" data-sfc-cb="" data-hveid="CAEIBhAA" data-complete="true" data-sae="" data-copy-service-computed-style="font-family: &quot;Google Sans&quot;, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;
