Our MissionHealthcare should work for patients, but it doesn't. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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.
Your Impact on our Mission Zocdoc's most important asset is our people. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Spend Management team, you will be a core builder of the platform that gives healthcare practices the confidence and control to spend on the Zocdoc Marketplace. You'll design and deliver flexible, self-service spend controls - helping move providers off manual, support-mediated budget administration and onto a product they manage directly, with full visibility into their spend and ROI. This is a money-moving system, so correctness, reliability, and trust are at the heart of everything we build, directly impacting provider trust, marketplace spend, and a practice's ability to maximize their return on Zocdoc.
You'll enjoy this role if you are...- Personally motivated by building systems where accuracy matters - where a bug isn't just a ticket, it's someone's money and their trust.
- Autonomous, urgent, and creative. You genuinely love owning a problem end-to-end, from design to launch.
- Energized by turning a manual, internal process into a self-service product that customers control themselves.
- Someone who enjoys leveling up the engineers around you through code review, pairing, and design discussion.
- A strong collaborator who can work with Product, Design, Analytics, and Sales toward a unified vision.
- The kind of person who thrives on a small, focused team with a clear, high-impact mission.
- Serious about your work, but not about yourself. Let's face it - the way things are going, you kind of need a sense of humor.
Your day to day is...- Designing and writing code for key roadmap features - flexible budget controls, the Budget Settings experience, and spend visibility.
- Contributing to the technical design of the self-service spend management platform alongside the team's technical leads.
- Building and fostering relationships with engineers on your team and partners in Product, Design, and Analytics to refine and execute the product vision.
- Safeguarding the accuracy and reliability of a system that moves money - spend tracking, budget enforcement, and the guardrails that keep them correct.
- Sharpening your craft and helping teammates through code reviews, design discussions, and 1:1 pairing.
- Working with cutting-edge GenAI tools and technology, with an eye toward future goals like spend recommendations and AI-assisted budget insights.
You'll be successful in this role if you have...- An unrelenting desire to build more equitable, inclusive and diverse workplaces.
- You view this role as an opportunity to create positive change.
- Meaningful experience (typically 4+ years) building and shipping business-critical back-end services, with the front-end skills to make them usable - in .NET and AWS, or a comparable object-oriented / cloud stack you can bring to .NET.
- *Required* The ability to integrate generative AI tools into daily workflows to automate tasks, foster innovation, and maximize productivity.
- A bias toward correctness and reliability, with the instinct to build observability and guardrails into money-moving systems from the start.
- The mentality of an entrepreneur/owner and a strong bias to action.
- Superb communication skills! You believe in keeping all of your stakeholders in the loop and know that multiple mediums of communication are the key to success.
- Humility. You believe in treating all people with dignity and respect, regardless of title or tenure.
