Staff Software Engineer, Clinical Fit

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. *Please note, we are open to remote candidates for this role. Your Impact on Our Mission Finding the right care is one of the most important decisions a patient can make. As a Staff Engineer on the Clinical Fit team, you'll play a critical role in helping patients connect with the providers, specialists, and care pathways that best meet their needs. Zocdoc is evolving beyond a traditional healthcare marketplace into a platform that powers smarter, more personalized healthcare experiences.
