At Zocdoc, we're on a mission to give power to the patient -- and that starts with enabling our engineering teams to build and ship software safely, efficiently, and with confidence.

As a Staff Platform Engineer, you will design, build, and improve the foundational systems, tooling, and paved roads that create leverage across our engineering organization; accelerating delivery while improving reliability, consistency, and developer experience.

This role sits within the Infrastructure organization.

You will collaborate across the business  to turn platform strategy into practical, adoptable solutions.

The role emphasizes hands-on technical leadership with meaningful input into platform direction, with the goal of reducing friction across the development lifecycle and enabling teams to focus on improving healthcare access rather than infrastructure scaffolding.

You will play a key role in how developers at Zocdoc build, test, and deploy software.

Strategy vs. Execution Split

~80% Hands-On Technical Leadership (designing and building platform capabilities, reviewing architecture and code, partnering with teams on adoption and iteration)

Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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.
