Analytics Engineer I

Hi, we're Oscar. We're hiring an Analytics Engineer I 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:

The Analytics Engineer I designs, builds, and maintains dimensional models and data transformations that convert raw operational data into reliable, well-structured analytical assets. You’ll work within Oscar’s unified data foundation in dbt, partnering with domain experts and stakeholders to capture business logic and translate it into dimensional models that serve analytics use cases across the organization. Under the guidance of more senior Analytics Engineers, you’ll build and maintain models, implement automated tests to ensure long-term data product health, and contribute to the semantic layer that powers enterprise business intelligence. This is a hands-on role focused on growing your craft in dimensional modeling, SQL, and analytics engineering within a healthcare environment.

You will report into the Associate Director, Data Science.
