To give power to the patient by delivering the accessible, seamless, and simple experience patients expect and deserve.
Role
Who you are
- Proven leadership experience shared UI infrastructure as a product: ship design system as a reliable cross-platform foundation, drive migration and adoption across web and mobile teams, and institutionalize accessibility, instrumentation, and quality as defaults
- The right person combines strong frontend platform judgment and cross-functional influence, and enough mobile fluency to unify web/iOS/Android direction without making any one client platform the center of gravity
- 5+ years of experience building and shipping software, with a strong foundation in frontend technologies (React, TypeScript, JavaScript) and demonstrated experience in mobile development ( iOS or Android)
- 2+ years of experience leading, growing, and inspiring engineering teams
- Experience building or significantly contributing to a design system or shared component library used across multiple product teams
- A history of building polished, well-tested, accessible consumer products on web and mobile
- The ability to integrate generative AI tools into daily workflows to automate tasks, foster innovation, and maximize productivity
- Superb communication skills — you keep stakeholders aligned, manage competing priorities transparently, and build consensus with engineers at all levels
- The mentality of an entrepreneur/owner and a strong bias to action
- Humility. You believe in treating all people with dignity and respect, regardless of title or tenure, and you approach tough conversations with empathy
- A Bachelor's degree in CS, Math, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
What the job involves
- Zocdoc's most important asset is our people
- As an Engineering Manager of our Frontend Platform & Mobile team, you'll play a central role in defining how millions of patients and providers experience Zocdoc — starting from the foundation
- You'll lead the engineering effort behind our accessible React component library and design system: the shared frontend infrastructure that every product team at Zocdoc depends on to ship fast, inclusive, and polished experiences across web and mobile
- You'll partner closely with UX, Product, and Engineering leaders to drive adoption, accelerate frontend and mobile development organization-wide, and establish accessibility as a first-class engineering discipline
- Your leadership will improve the speed and quality of how we build — and ultimately, the experience of every patient who relies on Zocdoc to find care
- Passionate about frontend development — React, design systems, accessibility, and mobile — and energized by building infrastructure that multiplies the output of every other engineering team
- The kind of engineering leader who loves building platforms that others build on, and finds deep satisfaction in driving adoption across an organization
- Committed to making accessibility a standard, not an afterthought, and excited to establish the processes that raise the bar company-wide
- Drawn to building inclusive, psychologically safe teams where engineers grow, belong, and do their best work
- A data-driven thinker who brings evidence to decisions and holds a high quality bar without sacrificing speed
- 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…
- Leading, managing, and growing a high-performing team of frontend engineers focused on design systems, accessible component libraries, and frontend platform tooling
- Owning the strategy and roadmap for Zocdoc's design system and accessible React component library, ensuring it is the preferred foundation for feature development across all product teams
- Driving accessibility across Zocdoc's web and mobile surfaces — establishing planning, build, and QA processes so accessible product development becomes a consistent, measurable standard
- Partnering with UX, Product, and Engineering to build and evolve a scalable, accessible, mobile-responsive component library that works seamlessly across web and native mobile platforms
- Identifying and delivering platform improvements that meaningfully speed up frontend and mobile development across the engineering organization
- Partnering with Product, UX, and Analytics to research and prioritize roadmaps and set a clear technical direction
- Mentoring and coaching engineers at all levels to deliver outstanding work in React.js and related frontend and mobile technologies
- Working with cutting edge GenAI tools and technology to accelerate development velocity, improve engineering workflows, and raise the bar on what the team can ship
- Setting technical strategy with a focus on scalability, developer experience, and ease of contribution across teams
- Contributing to Engineering Culture at Zocdoc — helping shape career ladders, supporting cross-team events, interviewing, and building a more inclusive technology workforce
Our take
The healthcare system often runs on inefficiencies; patients call outdated directories, wait weeks for a visit to a professional and are often hit with surprise bills. Zocdoc was founded to streamline the fragmented healthcare experience by putting the patient first.
The platform allows millions of users each month to view open appointment times with doctors, book instantly online, read verified reviews, and keep up-to-date with checkups. The platform works for both in-person and virtual care – the latter of which has seen a substantial increase in demand. Zocdoc is one of the few companies tackling these problems in healthcare.
The company has solidified its position in the SaaS space, in part by forming partnerships with companies such as WellHive, a leader in digital care, to drive healthcare support for veterans. Moving forward, Zocdoc will continue to invest in its platform to optimise its services for its users.
