Job Description
Emergent builds autonomous coding agents that replace traditional software development by generating, testing, and deploying production applications directly from plain-language intent. Our systems run in production at global scale and are used to build millions of real applications.
Since public launch, Emergent has reached $100M ARR in 8 months. 6M+ users across 190+ countries have built 6.5M+ applications on Emergent. We've raised $100M+, backed by Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, and Y Combinator.
We're solving the hard part of AI-driven software creation: correctness, reliability, security, and scale in real production systems. The team is built by repeat founders, Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni, and leaders from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox.
We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.

- Familiar with Git, CI/CD workflows, and monitoring tools
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, collaborative environments
Good to Have:
- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud infra (AWS/GCP)
- Familiarity with message queues, caching, or databases at scale
- Exposure to ML/AI engineering or infra-related tooling
- Contributions to open-source or side projects
Why Join Us:
- Build next-gen tools for 1B+ creators
