Oscar is a health insurance company that is using technology to make quality health insurance more affordable. Every day, we are making a difference in people’s lives. We build intuitive and powerful systems for people who use our insurance, for our staff, and for others in the healthcare ecosystem. Security of these systems is paramount to us. People who use Oscar trust us with their confidential data, and we must honor their trust. We are looking for a passionate infrastructure security leader who is excited to take on significant responsibilities in this goal and help us build a world class security program.

As a Associate Security Engineer, you will engage in a variety of security projects that may span application security, infrastructure security, vulnerability management, identity and access management, and other areas. You will partner with other members of the Security team, and with the broader Oscar community, to enhance the security of our systems and help establish security best practices. You will both contribute to our efforts of building a world class security team, and be able to learn from the fellow security teammates. You will also be able to grow professionally by taking advantage of company sponsored attendance of security-related conferences, taking the relevant security courses, etc.

We believe in idea meritocracy and maintain open communication environment where our team members are encouraged to contribute and where their contributions are valued.

While we are looking for people with some technical and security expertise who could hit the ground running, we encourage our staff to cut across multiple information security disciplines, so that they participate in broader range of projects and grow professionally.

  • Experience with hardware configuration and OS security settings

  • Experience with AWS or GCP
