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Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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.
*Please note, we are open to remote candidates for this role.
Your Impact on our Mission
As a Senior Staff Software Engineer in the Interoperability group, you will unlock the full potential of our integrations with 170+ EHRs. These integrations enable Zocdoc to pull real-time availability, write back bookings to trigger practice workflows, and exchange appointment data – insurance cards, medical history, and intake forms – between patients and providers. Your leadership will expand their impact across our entire product ecosystem.
Our platform is at an inflection point. New product lines require us to move from eventually-consistent syncs to tighter, fail-fast integrations – a major rearchitecture that you will lead. EHR systems also hold valuable data we've only begun to tap: insurance credentialing, provider onboarding signals, patient LTV and more. You will shape both the technical strategy and contribute to the product vision for how we leverage this data.
You will develop clear abstractions that let other engineering teams leverage our integration capabilities without understanding the inner workings of individual EHRs. You'll bring order to immense complexity and translate it into simple, powerful interfaces.
You will partner with senior product, engineering, and business leaders to define strategic priorities and influence architectural decisions across multiple teams. You will mentor engineers, guide teams through ambiguity, and establish best practices that improve reliability and scalability across our integration stack.
