Job Description

Our Mission

Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories. Then wait on hold. Then wait weeks for the privilege of a visit. Then wait in a room solely designed for waiting. Then wait for a surprise bill. In any other consumer industry, the companies delivering such a poor customer experience would not survive. But in healthcare, patients lack market power. Which means they are expected to accept the unacceptable.

Zocdoc’s mission is to give power to the patient. To do that, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace that makes it easy to find and book in-person or virtual care in all 50 states, across +200 specialties and +12k insurance plans. By giving patients the ability to see and choose, we give them power. In doing so, we can make healthcare work like every other consumer sector, where businesses compete for customers, not the other way around. In time, this will drive quality up and prices down.

We’re 18 years old and the leader in our space, but we are still just getting started. If you like solving important, complex problems alongside deeply thoughtful, driven, and collaborative teammates, read on.

Your Impact on our Mission

As a Staff iOS Engineer, you will lead the evolution of our most critical patient-facing experiences on iOS, including search, sponsored results, and insurance, with a bold vision for what search can become. This is an opportunity not just to improve existing patterns, but to fundamentally rethink how patients discover care by transforming traditional search into intelligent, conversational, chat-based experiences that feel natural, guided, and deeply personalized.

Our mobile app is where a growing share of patients begin their healthcare journey, and you will be at the center of making that journey smarter, faster, and more intuitive. You will help move us beyond static filters and keyword queries toward dynamic, AI-powered conversations that help patients clearly express their needs and confidently find the right care. You will advance the future of search, advertising, and insurance on iOS and unify them into a cohesive, intelligent discovery experience.

This is a core leadership role. You will set architectural direction for the iOS platform, drive product initiatives that span multiple teams, and embed directly with teams when needed to deliver high-impact work. You will shape how we build mobile software at Zocdoc by raising the bar on engineering quality, mentoring engineers across the organization, and ensuring our iOS platform scales to support the next generation of conversational, AI-driven healthcare discovery.
