Healthcare should work for patients, but it doesn’t. In their time of need, they call down outdated insurance directories.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
