The job, in the employer's words
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
We're building Zocdoc's provider engagement platform — a system that understands where each practice is in their journey and delivers personalized experiences that deepen their relationship with our platform. Think: intelligent recommendations, engagement scoring, AI-assisted practice management, and a provider experience that makes Zocdoc essential to daily operations.
As Staff Engineer, you'll own the technical architecture for core components of this platform. You'll design systems that integrate ML models built by our Data Science team, build the data pipelines that power personalization, and ensure our product surfaces can consume intelligence seamlessly.

- Own architecture for a major domain practice intelligence APIs, recommendation serving, orchestration layer, or AI-assisted management
- Design data pipelines that compute engagement signals, aggregate practice profiles, and feed downstream systems
- Integrate ML models built by Data Science into production model serving, feature pipelines, monitoring, and feedback loops
- Define APIs and contracts between platform services and product surfaces
- Lead complex cross-team projects and drive alignment on technical direction
- Make build-vs-buy decisions for infrastructure components
- Mentor engineers and raise the bar on system design and operational excellence
You'll enjoy this role if you are…
- Inspired by the opportunity to positively impact the healthcare experience for millions of patients and providers
- Passionate about building data-intensive platforms that power intelligent, personalized experiences at scale
- Product-driven with a relentless focus on user needs, and excited to partner closely with cross-functional teams from early ideation through delivery
- Energized by designing scalable platform systems data pipelines, APIs, and real-time services that power intelligent product experiences
- A fervent champion of engineering fundamentals who enjoys driving adoption of best practices in code health, testing, and observability across teams
- A leader who mentors and grows engineers, cultivates innovation, and drives cross-collaboration across multiple teams
- A believer that diverse and inclusive teams and cultures are non-negotiable
- An entrepreneur with strong ownership who can thrive in an ambiguous and fast-changing environment
Your day to day is…
- Technical ownership of Zocdoc's Provider Engagement Platform, including roadmapping, prototyping, and leading 0-1 projects that span data infrastructure, ML integration, and product surfaces
- Designing and building the unified practice intelligence layer, aggregating fragmented data into real-time profiles that power personalization and recommendations
- Architecting event pipelines that capture engagement signals, compute health scores, and feed downstream ML models
- Integrating ML models built by Data Science into production systems, model serving, feature pipelines, monitoring, and feedback loops
- Defining APIs and contracts between platform services and product surfaces (homepage, in-product messaging, CRM, Sales tools)
- Making build-vs-buy decisions for infrastructure components (event systems, feature stores, in-product messaging platforms)
- Analyzing and decomposing complex product challenges to drive sound design decisions
- Working hands-on with your team and shipping production code using C#, React, and AWS technologies
