Job Description
About Zencoder
Zencoder is a universal AI platform focused on integrating generative coding workflows into existing developer tools and infrastructure. Connect any CLI to any IDE, starting with Claude Code, Codex, and Zen CLI, while leveraging Zencoder's proprietary enterprise-grade features like multi-repo intelligence. The platform supports on-premise, hybrid, or cloud deployment, with air-gapped and zero-VPC options to maintain enterprise security. Through modular "Zen Agents," Zencoder codifies team practices into shareable, autonomous workflows that continuously code, test, and deploy.
The Opportunity
As a Developer Relations, you’ll be the bridge between Zencoder and the developer community, serving as both an advocate for developers and an evangelist for Zencoder’s products and services. You’ll engage with developers to build relationships, provide community support, and advocate for Zencoder’s products and services. This role involves creating educational content, being a technical ambassador, representing Zencoder at events, gathering feedback, and collaborating closely with various teams to drive product adoption and community engagement.
Key Responsibilities
Community & Social Presence:
Own Zencoder’s voice in the developer ecosystem. Be active where developers actually are—X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, Hacker News, GitHub discussions. Start conversations, respond credibly, and build real relationships with engineers, not corporate followers.

Create sharp, technical, high-signal content that developers want to read and share - Short-form social content (threads, demos, clips), Deep-dive blog posts and tutorials, Opinionated comparisons and breakdowns, Live demos, walkthroughs, and behind-the-scenes builds. Focus on clarity, honesty, and usefulness—not marketing fluff.
Community Feedback Loop:
Be the connective tissue between the community and the product team. Collect unfiltered feedback, spot emerging patterns, and push insights back into product, docs, and roadmap discussions. Help ensure Zencoder evolves in a way developers actually care about.
Pre-Sales Support:
Work with the sales and marketing teams to provide technical demos and answer technical questions for potential customers. Assist in developing solutions tailored to customers’ needs and provide technical expertise during the sales process.
Developer Experience Improvement:
Collaborate with the product and engineering teams to enhance developer UX/UI with Zencoder, ensuring a smooth developer experience.
Events & Presence:
Represent Zencoder at hackathons, meetups, and conferences with energy and authenticity. Run workshops, live builds, and interactive sessions that leave developers smarter than when they walked in.
