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Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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 16 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.
This posting will expire on 10/3/2024
The Summer 2025 Zinternship will run from June 4th through August 15th!
Your Impact on our Mission:
Zocdoc is living our value of Together not Alone as we host our annual Zintern Software Engineering Program. Our Zinternship is a longstanding program where we provide emerging technologists with mentorship, real project work, and the opportunity to give power back to the patient! Some of our best employees are former Zinterns, and you’ll have the opportunity to learn and work alongside them.
Passionate about the intersection of technology and healthcare? Apply today!
What to Expect...
- Before you start you’ll be linked up for an intro call with members of the Zintnership committee, our recruiting team, and your fellow Zinterns. We want you coming in comfortable and excited!
- You’ll kick off your summer by virtually attending ZocU. ZocU is a week long immersive engineering class where you will be introduced to commonly used technologies and Zocdoc’s internal tooling
- You’ll learn software engineering best practices like how to write clean, readable code, push code on a daily basis in a CI environment, and ensure code reliability using industry standard testing frameworks
- You’ll begin to become fluent in our tech stack, from languages like Scala, C# and NodeJS to modern libraries like React and cloud computing services like AWS
- In addition to working in a real production environment, you’ll also be assigned a project to work on. This project will be both something that benefits Zocdoc and gives you a hands-on immersive education
- You’ll be building products or features that have real-world impact and are directly suited to your interests (think optimizing the workflow for iOS/Android mobile experiences or driving our microservice architecture forward in Scala)
- You’ll cap off your Zinternship by presenting your summer project to our entire technology and leadership team at the end of your internship (when your internship is sadly wrapping up)
You’ll be successful in this role if you have…
- A sound understanding of computer science fundamentals like data structures and algorithms, and the ability to implement these concepts in everyday engineering
- Experience writing clean code in an object oriented or functional programming language of your choice (it’s true, we don’t care which you use!)
- An eagerness to immerse yourself in Zocdoc tech, problem solve on a daily basis and be challenged to grow everyday
- Excellent communication skills and can effectively discuss even the smallest nuance of your code with your scrum team
- An infectious commitment to engineering and an enthusiasm about working on a product that is revolutionizing healthcare
What you’ll receive from us...
- A mentor who will help you hone your engineering skills, provide you with constructive feedback and guide you to optimizing your internship
- A competitive compensation package
- Applicable reading materials & a package of custom Zocdoc branded swag
- Engaging and fun team events where you will build relationships with your peers
- Potential for full time employment post-graduation based on excellent internship performance
Zocdoc is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Salary ranges are determined through alignment with market data. Base salary offered is determined by a number of factors including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and skills. Certain positions are also eligible for variable pay and/or equity; your recruiter will discuss the full compensation package details.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
