About the role
Our Mission You call. You wait. You call again. In every other part of your life, you book in seconds. In healthcare, you’re blocked. We’re here to give power to the patient. For nearly 20 years, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace - helping tens of millions of people find and book the care they need. 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. We want to make sure all of those doors open when patients are knocking. Fixing healthcare starts with fixing access to it. And we're still just getting started. Your Impact on our Mission: Zocdoc is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build the data platform that connects our products with analytics, machine learning, and operational systems. This role sits on the Data Engineering team at the boundary of backend engineering and data infrastructure. You will build APIs, libraries, schemas, services, and supported workflows that help engineers publish and use data safely. Your work will cover the path from source-defined contracts and validation through reliable event and batch delivery to data activation in products and business systems. You will help make quality, ownership, observability, and privacy part of the platform, while giving teams a clearer path to ship without depending on Data Engineering for every integration. You’ll enjoy this role if you are… • Excited to build platform products for other engineers, turning ambiguous problems into practical APIs, SDKs, shared libraries, command-line tools, and services that you also help operate. • Interested in the full lifecycle of data, including how it is defined at the source, evolves safely, reaches consumers, and is adopted without disruptive migrations. • Motivated to build privacy, access control, and auditability into everyday engineering workflows rather than rely on manual review. • Effective at working across product engineering, analytics engineering, data science, security, compliance, and infrastructure to agree on contracts and deliver shared solutions. • Thoughtful about using AI-assisted development tools and rigorous about reviewing, testing, and maintaining the work they help produce. Your day to day is… • Design, build, and operate services and developer tooling that help engineering teams publish and consume trusted data, including contract workflows, APIs, SDKs, generated types, and validation tools. • Improve event-driven data paths built on Kafka, Avro, and schema registries, with clear delivery semantics, compatibility rules, and safe schema evolution. • Create reliable ways to move curated data from the warehouse or lakehouse into products and operational systems, with monitoring, lineage, and clear ownership. • Design and operate reverse ETL and data activation paths that move curated warehouse or lakehouse data into products and operational systems, with monitoring, lineage, and clear ownership. • Build compliance capabilities into the platform, including data classification, deletion and masking workflows, access controls, audit trails, and policy enforcement. • Write infrastructure as code, operate platform services in AWS, and improve service-level indicators, alerts, dashboards, runbooks, and on-call response. • Partner with internal users, document supported workflows, review designs and code, and help teammates build systems that other teams can adopt. You’ll be successful in this role if you have… •
