Title: Staff Software Engineer, Marketplace Acquisition Location: USA Remote

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.
