Senior Software Engineer, Financial Fit

Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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

*Please note, we are open to remote candidates for this role.

Healthcare costs are often opaque, confusing, and stressful for patients. As a Senior Engineer on the Financial Fit team, you'll help build experiences that give patients greater clarity and confidence when making healthcare decisions.

Success in this role requires more than building features. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Data Science, and Operations to solve complex problems at scale, balancing speed, quality, and long-term platform health. You'll help shape the next generation of financial experiences at Zocdoc while contributing to a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.

Every improvement you make has the potential to help thousands of patients and providers make better healthcare decisions and access care with greater confidence.
