What is the position?

Design is one of the most powerful tools we have at Oscar. Healthcare is incredibly complex, but with design, we can create a better experience for doctors and patients. Our goal is to build a trusted and dependable brand that people trust.

At Oscar, you’ll work closely with product managers, engineers, marketers, and other designers. Collaboration is key to our success, and the design team is one of the key players in differentiating Oscar and creating a better healthcare experience. We encourage a sense of autonomy, expecting our designers to be able to think critically and act as leaders. That means being able to see between the lines, give and take feedback well, and actively research concepts that may be foreign.

The Oscar design team is a small, tight-knit group of ambitious and grounded people. It goes without saying that egos won't fit on the team. As part of the design team at Oscar, you would be expected to work great on your own, but even better as part of the team.
