Sr Software Engineer, Code Parsing and Integrations

About Zencoder

Join us at Zencoder, where our mission is to advance human knowledge through innovative AI solutions. We're transforming the landscape of software development by empowering developers with AI coding agents embedded into their workflow that help create high-quality software and accelerate product delivery. By empowering developers to code smarter, faster, and with greater impact we bridge the gap between imagination and implementation, helping organizations ship impactful software products faster.

Our product is an extension for JetBrains and VSCode that assists developers not only in generating code but also in iterative refining and repairing it through embedded AI agents. This approach goes beyond the basic code snippet suggestions. By deeply analyzing developers’ repositories and employing robust software engineering principles, Zencoder's agents enhance code quality and project alignment, freeing developers to concentrate more on innovation and creative problem-solving.

The Opportunity

We're seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our talented team. In this role, you'll spearhead the conceptualization, design, and development of cutting-edge back-end solutions for our code-generation add-ins. Suppose you have already made significant contributions to successful products and possess prior experience in code parsing, generation, or manipulation (such as within IDEs, compilers, or translators). In that case, you can seize a unique chance to bring those skills to shape an AI-driven product alongside our dynamic team.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the team to conceptualize, design, and develop the back-end for code-generation add-ins, empowering developers to automate repetitive tasks and boost productivity
• Extract, augment, and transform AST and dependencies
• Develop a wide range of DevOps integrations and bots
• Conduct thorough testing of developed solutions, identify and address any bugs or performance issues, and optimize code for efficiency and scalability
• Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in software development, DevOps practices, and AI technologies to drive innovation and maintain competitiveness

Essential Qualifications

• Strong computer science background (e.g., algorithms, data structures), strong understanding of modern architecture and design principles (e.g. SOLID) with practical application of both
• Experience in code parsing, manipulation, or generation tasks
• Experience working with semantic indexing and search 
• Ability to operate in Java, Python, C#, and JavaScript. Good understanding of programming languages and environments (e.g. build tools, compilers, linters)
• Daily use of modern DevOps principles and practices, including unit testing, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Active engagement in learning and applying AI technologies
• A background in front-end technologies would be a plus
• Proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment, with excellent communication skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality solutions on time
• Eagerness to learn and adapt to new technologies and methodologies, with a passion for continuous improvement and innovation
