Our Mission
Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories. Then wait on hold. Then wait weeks for the privilege of a visit. Then wait in a room solely designed for waiting. Then wait for a surprise bill. In any other consumer industry, the companies delivering such a poor customer experience would not survive. But in healthcare, patients lack market power. Which means they are expected to accept the unacceptable.
Zocdoc’s mission is to give power to the patient. To do that, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace that makes it easy to find and book in-person or virtual care in all 50 states, across +200 specialties and +12k insurance plans. By giving patients the ability to see and choose, we give them power. In doing so, we can make healthcare work like every other consumer sector, where businesses compete for customers, not the other way around. In time, this will drive quality up and prices down.
We’re 18 years old and the leader in our space, but we are still just getting started. If you like solving important, complex problems alongside deeply thoughtful, driven, and collaborative teammates, read on.
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.
