Principal Product Designer, Provider Platform
Zocdoc · Remote · New York, United States · 14h ago
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 topower 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.

This role requires deep systems thinking across our multi-sided platform, ensuring that experiences are cohesive, scalable, and aligned across marketplace and provider surfaces.
As we evolve toward AI-native product development, you will help lead this transition by defining how design and engineering collaborate in an AI-driven environment and establishing new standards for how ideas move from concept to production using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other emerging technologies.
