Your Impact on our MissionZocdoc's most important asset is our people. As a Staff Software Engineer on the Billing team, you'll play a meaningful role in making sure our financial foundations are as robust and innovative as the healthcare marketplace and the growing suite of products that help providers connect with and care for their patients. You will lead the evolution of our billing systems into a flexible, best-in-class platform capable of supporting diverse and fair pricing models-ranging from our core marketplace to new AI-driven innovations like Zo, our AI Phone Assistant.
Your work is critical to ensuring our providers have clarity regarding their payments and can easily see the immense value Zocdoc brings to their practice. By architecting a scalable platform that automates complex manual workflows for our Finance team, you will remove friction and enable the business to reinvest revenue into new opportunities for patients. As a technical leader, you won't just be writing code; you'll be driving high-visibility projects from conception to launch, mentoring talented engineers, and making the architectural decisions that will define how Zocdoc scales its billing platform for years to come.

- Highly analytical and detail-oriented, especially when it comes to data integrity and system reliability.
- A collaborative leader who excels at cross-squad collaboration and finds joy in bringing people together to solve a challenge.
- Someone who thrives on collaborative problem-solving and expects to learn as much from your world-class coworkers as you teach them.

Your day to day is...- Leading the architectural direction of Zocdoc's billing system as we build for the future - thinking how we can scale billing as the number of providers, patients, and products we support grow.

You'll be successful in this role if you have...- Meaningful (8+) years of engineering experience building and scaling high-performance backend services, ETLs, and APIs within event-driven, distributed systems-ideally in environments where data reliability and integrity are paramount.
- Familiarity with cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS) and the desire to own your team's infrastructure (as code!).
- The mentality of an owner with an unrelenting desire to drive projects to completion; you view ambiguity as an opportunity to provide technical clarity rather than a blocker.
- Integrated generative AI tools into daily workflows to automate tasks, foster innovation, and maximize productivity.
- Leadership experience steering teams toward best-in-class testing, deployment, and observability practices that amplify output and quality.
- Superb communication skills! You believe in keeping all of your stakeholders and teammates in the loop and know that multiple mediums of communication are the key to success.
