About Zencoder

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.

🛠️ What You’re Getting Into

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help us shape how we collect, analyze, and act on data across our AI-powered coding platform. You’ll build scalable data infrastructure, design high-quality data models, help evaluate our agents, and make sure decision-makers have the insights they need — from engineers to product managers to the founder.

You’ll be joining a small but ambitious Data & Analytics team on the ground floor. This is a rare opportunity to set the foundation for analytics at a fast-moving AI company led by serial founder Andrew Filev (ex-Wrike), where your work directly impacts the future of how software is built.

🔍 What You’ll Do

  • Design and run A/B tests that help us move fast without guessing — you'll guide the team in making smart, data-informed choices, and build out best practices for experimentation that everyone can rely on.
  • Develop and implement standardized processes for tracking new analytical events;
  • Turn raw data into real insights — dig into product usage, agent performance, and user behavior to help teams understand what’s working, what’s not, and where to go next.
  • Level up our analytics game by improving our reporting systems and introducing new metrics that reflect how users experience our AI tools.
  • Build trust in our data with robust quality checks and validation processes.
  • Architect DWH data models, create and optimize SQL queries and data models for cross-layer DWH data transformation using DBT.

🧰 Tech Details

Our current toolkit includes Amplitude, GCS, BigQuery, DBT, and Python, but we’re not locked in. You’ll help shape the architecture and pick the right tools as we scale.

We work with massive, AI-specific data like prompts and user content — not just pageviews and clicks. There’s very little legacy, so you won’t spend your days untangling old pipelines. Instead, you’ll be laying the groundwork for a data platform that powers the future of AI development.

🧠 What You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience in data warehouse (DWH) development and data transformation workflows.
  • Strong SQL skills, including the ability to write and optimize complex queries.
  • A solid understanding of Data Governance and Data Quality best practices.
  • Experience building and maintaining data transformation workflows, with knowledge of ETL/ELT processes, batch, and streaming data processing.
  • Proficiency in Python for data-related tasks.
  • A passion for data-driven decision making and the ability to extract insights from complex datasets.
  • Readiness to take on both data engineering and analytics tasks as needed.

🌟 Nice to Have

  • Experience with DBT and BigQuery.
  • Experience with designing and analyzing A/B experiments.
  • Experience creating reports using any BI tool.
  • Experience with AI system analytics and evaluation.

🚀 Why Zencoder?

  • Massive Impact: AI is changing how software gets made. You’ll be building tools at the center of that shift.
  • No Busywork: We cut out the noise so you can focus on solving interesting problems.
  • Experienced Leadership: Andrew Filev scaled Wrike from nothing to a $2B exit — and he’s not here to waste time.
  • High Talent Density: Senior team. No babysitting.
  • Remote Friendly: We hire globally and care more about output than timezones.
  • Ownership: Equity included — you’re not just an employee, you’re part of the upside.

Zencoder is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

At Zencoder, our customers, software developers and engineering teams, often grapple with sprawling codebases, the pressure to ship faster, and the significant time consumed by routine tasks like writing boilerplate code, fixing bugs, creating unit tests, and manually navigating between different tools and contexts. [6, 19] We understand that their valuable brainpower is often diverted from creative problem-solving and innovation. That's why we built Zencoder – not just as another AI coding tool, but as a true AI pair programmer designed to alleviate these challenges. [6, 19] Our AI coding agents are engineered to bring 'zen' back into coding by handling the mundane tasks, allowing developers to unleash their creativity and focus on solving real-world challenges and building what matters. [2, 3] We aim to empower every engineer to be extraordinary by removing the barriers that consume their time and energy. Zencoder distinguishes itself by embedding advanced AI agents that utilize cutting-edge AI pipelines to iteratively refine and repair code, going beyond basic code snippet suggestions. By deeply analyzing entire repositories with our proprietary Repo Grokking™ technology, Zencoder's agents enhance code quality and project alignment, enabling developers to concentrate on innovation. [1, 7, 19]

Our customers need to accelerate their development cycles, improve code quality, and reduce the time-to-market for their software products.
