The posting

Our Mission

You call. You wait. You call again. In every other part of your life, you book in seconds. In healthcare, you’re blocked.

We’re here to give power to the patient.

For nearly 20 years, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace - helping tens of millions of people find and book the care they need. Now, we’re going further: building our infrastructure beyond Zocdoc’s marketplace to power access to care wherever patients search, from provider websites and insurance directories to search engines, AI platforms, and more.

Healthcare still lacks something every other major consumer industry takes for granted: a seamless way to go from seeking to getting. We don’t want to own the front door to care; there isn't one. We want to make sure all of those doors open when patients are knocking.

Fixing healthcare starts with fixing access to it. And we're still just getting started.

Your Impact on our Mission

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Marketplace Acquisition team at Zocdoc, you'll turn ideas into reality fast — prototyping, iterating, and shipping high-impact experiences that help patients discover and access care. You'll own the systems behind Zocdoc's patient acquisition and engagement, keeping everything at the top of the funnel stable, scalable, and fast. That means driving the evolution of our SEO infrastructure, which powers thousands of patient-facing pages; iterating on provider profile and practice page designs to create seamless, trustworthy experiences; and building the APIs and services that make patient-facing data fast and reliable at scale.

You'll also shape how we build. Zocdoc is making a company-wide push to drive engineering through the lens of AI, and you'll be an active participant in it — bringing AI into your day-to-day development, contributing to the standards, guardrails, and review practices the organization is building, and raising the ceiling on what a small team can ship. Multiplying the output of the engineers around you is as much a part of this role as the code you write yourself.

You'll work closely with Design, Product, and Marketing to align on strategy and deliver measurable impact, all while fostering a culture of technical excellence, mentorship, and innovation that keeps Zocdoc at the forefront of healthcare technology.

You’ll enjoy this role if you are…

  • Driven by the opportunity to impact healthcare positively, our mission is to create a seamless, efficient, and deeply human experience
  • Product-driven with a relentless focus on user needs; you’re excited to partner closely with cross-functional teams, leading projects beginning from the early ideation phase
  • Passionate about engineering excellence, with a strong focus on promoting best practices in code quality, testing, and long-term maintainability across teams and the organization
  • An entrepreneur with strong ownership who can thrive in an ambiguous and fast-changing environment

Your day to day is…

  • Leading the technical direction of Zocdoc’s acquisition platform, enhancing system stability and user experience. Guiding technical discussions, ensuring decisions are scalable and dependable, and aligning infrastructure with the team’s broader mission
  • Building scalable APIs and microservices that power frictionless data access and informed patient decision-making
  • Collaborating with design counterparts to iterate on user experiences and improve the overall customer journey
  • Proactively engaging with product counterparts to align on vision, strategy, and execution, ensuring projects stay on track and deliver business value
  • Mentoring engineers and driving team excellence through coding standards, automation, and continuous improvement
  • Leading bold innovation initiatives centered on AI, leveraging emerging data sources and cutting-edge architectures to position Zocdoc as a leader in healthcare technology

You’ll be successful in this role if you have…

  • Owned and evolved complex, user-facing platforms end-to-end, balancing rapid delivery with long-term technical vision to ensure scalable, maintainable, and impactful experiences
  • Designed and built performant systems with search engine optimization (SEO) and page speed as top priorities, ensuring fast, reliable, and discoverable patient experiences at scale
  • Architected full-stack solutions spanning backend APIs, AWS-based infrastructure, and React systems that are modular, reusable, and leveraged across teams
  • Integrated with third-party data sources and content management systems, such as Contentful, to deliver dynamic, flexible, and content-rich user experiences
  • Leveraged large language model (LLM) systems to transform raw user data into actionable insights, powering intelligent and personalized features
  • Driven engineering excellence through best-in-class practices in testing, CI/CD, observability, and system performance optimization
  • Mentored and collaborated across distributed teams, promoting strong technical foundations, clear communication, and an inclusive, innovative engineering culture

Benefits

  • Flexible work environment
  • Unlimited Vacation
  • 100% paid employee health benefit options (including medical, dental, and vision)
  • 401(k) with employer funded match
  • Corporate wellness program with Wellhub
  • Sabbatical leave (for employees with 5+ years of service)
  • Competitive paid parental leave and fertility/family planning reimbursement
  • Cell phone reimbursement
  • Employee Resource Groups and ZocClubs to promote shared community and belonging

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
