What the job involves
- As an Engineering Manager for Zocdoc’s Provider Preferences team, you’ll play a central role in advancing one of the company’s most mission-critical problems: connecting the right patients with the right providers
- Zocdoc’s competitive advantage lies in our ability to accurately match patients to providers who meet both their clinical and financial needs, a matching experience that’s seamless, reliable, and deeply personalized
- The Provider Preferences team powers this core capability by building the systems that understand both sides of the marketplace: what patients are looking for, and what providers can offer
- Your team ensures that Zocdoc accurately reflects a provider’s insurance participation, clinical expertise, and preferences, so patients can trust they’re booking the right care at the right price
- As the Engineering Manager, you’ll lead the continued transformation of how we model, store, and leverage provider data at scale
- You’ll partner with Product, Data, and Design to make the experience of managing provider preferences simple and powerful
- Your leadership will directly improve Zocdoc’s matching accuracy, provider conversion rates, and ultimately the quality of care access for millions of patients
- Leading, managing, and growing a high-performing team of full-stack engineers building the backbone of Zocdoc’s provider data systems
- Partnering with Product and Design to define and execute the roadmap for financial fit (in-network insurance management) and clinical fit (provider capabilities and patient needs)
- Owning the technical vision for how provider preference data integrates with Zocdoc’s search, scheduling, and matching algorithms
- Scaling our insurance and clinical taxonomy systems to handle millions of data points efficiently and accurately
- Driving the adoption of LLMs and intelligent matching to unify patient, provider, and insurance data inputs
- Mentoring engineers, driving quality and velocity, and fostering an environment of innovation and accountability
- Collaborating across Zocdoc Engineering to improve infrastructure, tooling, and processes that enable rapid, reliable delivery
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The healthcare system often runs on inefficiencies; patients call outdated directories, wait weeks for a visit to a professional and are often hit with surprise bills.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.
