Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring a Senior Data Scientist, Fraud 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. The Senior Data Scientist, Fraud will help shape Oscar’s fraud data science capabilities and partner with the Medical Economics team and Special Investigations Unit (SIU) to turn Oscar’s data into investigative leads and tools that uncover potential fraud and reduce avoidable medical costs.
As a Senior Data Scientist on this team, you will partner closely with stakeholders to understand business challenges and identify opportunities for data science to drive impact. You will independently manage stakeholder relationships for your projects, translate business needs into technical solutions, and contribute to the fraud data science roadmap.
You will own projects end-to-end—scoping problems with stakeholders, designing the technical approach, implementing pipelines and models, validating outputs, and iterating after launch. Beyond individual projects, you will contribute to the team’s technical direction and mentor junior data scientists.
You will report to the Director, Data Science.
