Company info
- Zocdoc is the country's leading digital health marketplace that helps patients easily find and book the care they need.
- Each month, millions of patients use our free service to find nearby, in-network providers, compare choices based on verified patient reviews, and instantly book in-person or video visits online.
- Providers participate in Zocdoc's Marketplace to reach new patients to grow their practice, fill their last-minute openings, and deliver a better healthcare experience.
- Founded in 2007 with a mission to give power to the patient, our work each day in pursuit of that mission is guided by our six core values.
- Zocdoc is a private company backed by some of the world's leading investors, and we believe we're still only scratching the surface of what we plan to accomplish.
- Zocdoc is a mission-driven organization dedicated to building teams as diverse as the patients and providers we aim to serve.
- In the spirit of one of our core values - Together, Not Alone, we are a company that prides itself on being highly collaborative, and we believe that diverse perspectives, experiences and contributors make our community and our platform better.
- We're an equal opportunity employer committed to providing employees with a work environment free of discrimination and harassment.
- You call again.
- In every other part of your life, you book in seconds.
- In healthcare, you're blocked.
- Now, we're going further: building our infrastructure beyond Zocdoc's marketplace to power access to care wherever patients search, from provider websites and insurance directories to search engines, AI platforms, and more.
- Healthcare still lacks something every other major consumer industry takes for granted: a seamless way to go from seeking to getting.
- We don't want to own the front door to care; there isn't one.
- Fixing healthcare starts with fixing access to it.
- And we're still just getting started.
- Your Impact on Our Mission
- At Zocdoc, we're on a mission to give power to the patient - and that starts with enabling every person at Zocdoc to build, ship, and leverage technology safely, confidently, and with leverage.
- As a Staff Platform Engineer focused on AI Enablement, you will design, build, and evolve the foundational systems, tooling, guardrails, and paved roads that create leverage across our engineering organization and beyond - accelerating delivery while improving reliability, consistency, and developer experience.
- Critically, this role has a wider aperture than most platform roles: you will own AI enablement for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, building opinionated platforms and safe onramps that allow every builder at Zocdoc - regardless of their engineering background - to harness AI tools productively and securely.
- This role sits within the Infrastructure organization.
- You will collaborate across the business to turn platform strategy into practical, adoptable solutions - working side by side with a parallel squad focused on the technical engineering audience, and bridging the gap between engineering-grade tools and the non-technical teams (People, Operations, Sales, Finance, and others) who increasingly build and depend on AI-powered workflows.
- The role emphasizes hands-on technical leadership (~80%) with meaningful input into platform direction (~20%).
- Your work will abstract operational complexity, define guardrails for safe AI usage, improve testability and safety, and streamline the builder journey across both software-engineering and non-engineering surfaces.
- You'll Enjoy This Role If You...
- Enjoy building platforms that enable productivity, consistency, and autonomy for diverse audiences
- Enjoy learning and teaching others about leveraging AI-based technologies to achieve real-world results
