Zencoder is building the next generation of AI coding agents — advanced tools that supercharge developer workflows and elevate engineering impact. Our mission is to transform how software is built by equipping developers with AI-powered tools that boost productivity, improve code quality, and unlock creativity.
Our product integrates seamlessly with JetBrains IDEs and VS Code, helping developers generate, refactor, and repair code. It includes fast and intelligent AI code completion, and our agents can independently perform tasks like running shell commands or searching the web to assist with coding and debugging. We're especially proud of our proprietary Repo Grokking™ technology, which enables our AI agents to deeply understand your entire codebase, providing the strongest contextual understanding on the market. Zencoder also connects with 20+ popular tools like Jira, Sentry, GitHub, and GitLab, making it the most integrated AI coding solution available.
This is just a small part of what Zencoder is all about. There’s much more to discover — and we’re just getting started.
We are seeking a passionate Senior Software Engineer to join our innovative team. You will take ownership of developing next-gen AI-coding agents.

You’ll join a passionate and proactive team that thrives on pushing boundaries. We’re looking for someone who shares this mindset — someone who’s not afraid to dream big, challenge the status quo, and bring fresh ideas to the table. Collaborate with brilliant teammates, turn your ideas into reality, and feel the impact of your work as it shapes the future of the tech world.
