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 our public launch, we've crossed $130M in Annualised Revenue and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Lightspeed, Together, Y Combinator, Google, Claypond and Sentinel Global.

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.

• →Global media relationships: build and hold real relationships with tech, business, and consumer reporters across the US, UK, India, and Southeast Asia. Reporters who know your name and call you before they publish
• →Founder brand: own the founder's external pipeline end-to-end, including podcasts, keynotes, panels, op-eds, and on-record interviews. You decide what he says yes to, and you prep him properly for every one
• →Narrative ownership: write and defend the company story. What Emergent is, who it's for, why now, and what we refuse to claim. Everyone from support to investors tells the same story without a script
• →Podcasts and long-form: treat the podcast circuit as a primary channel, not overflow. Know the shows, the hosts, and which conversation puts us in front of the right audience
• →Launches and moments: own the announcement calendar, embargoes, exclusives, and the call on who gets a story first, across product launches, funding, partnerships, and Builder Fest
• →Proof stories: find operators running real businesses on Emergent and get them in front of journalists. The strongest press we get is about a user, not about us
• →Reputation and crisis: build the plan before it's needed, and be the calm voice when it is

• Tier-one earned coverage: feature or substantive mentions in target global outlets per quarter, excluding funding news
• Share of voice: Emergent's share against named category competitors in tier-one press, tracked quarterly
• Message pull-through: percentage of coverage that carries our framing rather than the toy framing
• Founder presence: podcasts and stages booked per quarter, weighted by reach and relevance, not count
• Inbound source rate: stories we're quoted in that we did not pitch
• Customer stories placed: operator-led stories landed per quarter
• Crisis readiness: response plan live, spokesperson bench trained, and time-to-statement under target

• Minimum 8+ years in PR or communications, with real time in consumer tech and at least some of it in-house
• Placements you built yourself in outlets like The Verge, TechCrunch, WSJ, Bloomberg, FT, Wired, and The Information. Be ready to separate what you made happen from what came inbound
• A live, current network of reporters and podcast producers. We will ask you to name names
• Strong, fast writer: op-eds, message houses, and statements under pressure, in a voice that isn't corporate mush
• Judgment about what is actually a story. Most company news isn't, and you'll say so
• Comfortable across markets that behave nothing alike. Indian and US tech press are different sports
• You can sit with a founder, disagree with him, and be right

• You've taken a category from unknown to obvious before
• You've done crisis work
• You have a view on AI past both the hype and the backlash
