Senior Staff Software Engineer, Interop

About Us

Zocdoc is the country’s leading digital health marketplace that helps patients easily find and book the care they need. Each month, millions of patients use our free service to find nearby, in-network providers, compare choices based on verified patient reviews, and instantly book in-person or video visits online. Providers participate in Zocdoc’s Marketplace to reach new patients to grow their practice, fill their last-minute openings, and deliver a better healthcare experience. Founded in 2007 with a mission to give power to the patient, our work each day is guided by six core values. We’re a private company backed by leading investors, and we believe we’re still only scratching the surface of what we plan to accomplish.

About the Role

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—such as 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.

Responsibilities

• Take ultimate technical ownership of Zocdoc’s interoperability technical strategy.
• Build solutions that scale to serve Zocdoc’s largest, most complex customers.
• Drive the rearchitecture of our sync framework to support real-time, fail-fast integration patterns.
• Design abstractions that hide EHR-specific complexity and expose clean, consistent capabilities to product teams.
• Analyze and decompose complex product challenges to drive sound design decisions.
• Work hands-on with your team and ship production code using C#, AWS technologies, and React to millions of users autonomously.
• Collaborate with our agile team of dedicated engineers, product managers, and designers.
• Uplevel the interop engineering team through coaching, code reviews, and establishing patterns that the team can follow.
• Continuously improve our ability to deliver quality solutions through evolving engineering processes, building technical capabilities, and driving strategic investments in our platforms.

Qualifications

• Successfully architected and shipped high-impact, complex solutions and frameworks, with experience working across multiple areas of the technology stack and complex system integrations.
• Experience building platforms or frameworks that abstract complexity for other engineering teams—you know how to design APIs and interfaces that are a joy to use.
• Demonstrated history of solid and well-rounded system design and architectural leadership skills.
• A product mindset—you think beyond the technical implementation to how capabilities translate into customer value.
• Improved developer productivity, efficiency, and velocity by setting up and evangelizing best practices for coding, testing, deployment, observability, and developer tooling.
• Successfully mentored other engineers in the past and have encouraged your peers to use engineering best practices.
• Outstanding and persuasive communicator capable of delving into technical project details and facilitating technical discussions while also presenting solutions at an appropriate level of abstraction for a diverse cross-functional audience, including non-technical stakeholders.
• Growth mindset and inspire excellence, acting as a multiplier for your team and the broader engineering organization.
• 10+ years of significant expertise in backend development.
• Strong understanding of OO fundamentals.
• Experience within AWS environments and a high emphasis on testing is a plus.
• Experience successfully working with a distributed workforce preferred.

Skills

• Inspired by the opportunity to positively impact the healthcare experience for millions of customers and providers.
• Passionate about building highly scalable platforms with the latest technologies and excited about developing new and innovative products.
• Visionary product-driven leader with a relentless focus on customer needs, excited to partner closely with cross-functional teams leading strategic projects from early ideation through successful launch and iteration.
• Energized by complexity—you see 170+ different integration partners not as chaos but as a puzzle to solve through smart abstractions and clear interfaces.
• Fervent champion of engineering fundamentals who enjoys driving adoption of best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability across organizations and teams.
• Proven leader who mentors and grows teams, cultivates innovation, and drives cross-collaboration across multiple teams.
• Hands-on and lead by example, shipping code alongside your team, not just from the whiteboard.
• Believer that diverse and inclusive teams and cultures are non-negotiable.
• Entrepreneur with strong ownership who can thrive in an ambiguous and fast-changing environment.
