Company mission
To give power to the patient by delivering the accessible, seamless, and simple experience patients expect and deserve.
Role
Who you are
- A sound understanding of computer science fundamentals like data structures and algorithms, and the ability to implement these concepts in everyday engineering
- Experience writing clean code in an object oriented or functional programming language of your choice (it’s true, we don’t care which you use!)
- An eagerness to immerse yourself in Zocdoc tech, problem solve on a daily basis and be challenged to grow everyday
- Excellent communication skills and can effectively discuss even the smallest nuance of your code with your scrum team
- An infectious commitment to engineering and an enthusiasm about working on a product that is revolutionizing healthcare
- Able to work from our NYC office for the entire duration of the program (June 4th 2025 - August 15th 2025)
What the job involves
- The Summer 2025 Zinternship will run from June 4th through August 15th!
- Our Zinternship is a longstanding program where we provide emerging technologists with mentorship, real project work, and the opportunity to give power back to the patient! Some of our best employees are former Zinterns, and you’ll have the opportunity to learn and work alongside them
- Before you start you’ll be linked up for an intro call with members of the Zintnership committee, our recruiting team, and your fellow Zinterns. We want you coming in comfortable and excited!
- You’ll kick off your summer by virtually attending ZocU. ZocU is a week long immersive engineering class where you will be introduced to commonly used technologies and Zocdoc’s internal tooling
- You’ll learn software engineering best practices like how to write clean, readable code, push code on a daily basis in a CI environment, and ensure code reliability using industry standard testing frameworks
- You’ll begin to become fluent in our tech stack, from languages like Scala, C# and NodeJS to modern libraries like React and cloud computing services like AWS
- In addition to working in a real production environment, you’ll also be assigned a project to work on. This project will be both something that benefits Zocdoc and gives you a hands-on immersive education
- You’ll be building products or features that have real-world impact and are directly suited to your interests (think optimizing the workflow for iOS/Android mobile experiences or driving our microservice architecture forward in Scala)
- You’ll cap off your Zinternship by presenting your summer project to our entire technology and leadership team at the end of your internship (when your internship is sadly wrapping up)
- Potential for full time employment post-graduation based on excellent internship performance
Application process
- This posting will expire on 10/3/2024
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 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. Going forward, Zocdoc will continue to invest in its platform to optimize its services for its users.
