Oscar Health is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Core Technology team, which builds and maintains the foundational platform supporting all Oscar engineering. The role focuses on cloud infrastructure and site reliability engineering (SRE), with responsibility for architecting resilient systems on AWS/GCP, Terraform, and Kubernetes.
You will report to a Staff/Senior Staff Engineer and work on a hybrid schedule (3 days/week in NYC office, with Thursdays required for team meetings). Key responsibilities include becoming a domain expert in DevOps and cloud best practices, leading complex technical projects across multiple teams, mentoring junior engineers, and independently owning large infrastructure capabilities. You'll design resilient systems, reduce failure domains, guide Service-Level Objectives (SLOs), and drive technical roadmap prioritization.
The role requires 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with increasingly impactful accomplishments, demonstrated expertise in cross-pod/cross-company deliverables, and a track record of mentoring. You should excel at writing stable, correct, and maintainable code while improving team quality standards.
Bonus qualifications include deep AWS/GCP production experience at scale, advanced Terraform/IaC skills, Kubernetes and ArgoCD expertise, strong SRE discipline (SLOs, error budgets, incident management), CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions), observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana), cloud-native security and service mesh knowledge, programming proficiency, and a B.S. in Computer Science or equivalent industry experience.
