About the job

Our Mission

At Zocdoc, we believe healthcare should work seamlessly for patients, yet it often falls short. Patients often encounter outdated insurance directories, long wait times on hold, and unexpected bills. In contrast to other consumer sectors, where poor experiences lead to business failure, healthcare operates differently, leaving patients without power.

 

Our mission is to empower patients by providing a leading healthcare marketplace that simplifies the process of finding and booking both in-person and virtual care across all 50 states, with access to over 200 specialties and 12,000 insurance plans. By enabling patients to see their options and make informed choices, we aim to transform healthcare into a competitive sector that prioritizes quality and affordability.

 

Having been a leader in our field for 18 years, we are just getting started. If you are passionate about solving complex problems with a team of thoughtful and collaborative colleagues, we encourage you to read on.

 

Your Impact on Our Mission:

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer (Data Platform) to spearhead the development and enhancement of Zocdoc's data platform, which lies at the intersection of data and product engineering.

This role will be responsible for overseeing the movement of data into, across, and out of our lakehouse and warehouse ecosystems. You will define contracts, access patterns, APIs, governance controls, and interoperability standards that empower teams to produce and consume data reliably at scale.

Unlike traditional data engineering roles, this position emphasizes platform experience and data product design—creating frameworks, contracts, and service interfaces that ensure data is trustworthy, compliant, and user-friendly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

You will establish how:

  • Product teams publish high-quality, validated data into the platform
  • Analytics and machine learning teams confidently consume governed datasets
  • Reverse ETL and activation patterns safely operationalize data back into product systems
  • Access control, compliance, and governance are integrated into platform design from the outset

About Zocdoc

Zocdoc is a pioneering healthcare marketplace dedicated to transforming the patient experience by providing access to a wide array of healthcare services. We strive to empower consumers and improve healthcare delivery across the United States.
