Staff Engineer - Backend

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.

• →A design doc and an RCA you can defend end-to-end: alternatives, failure modes, rollout and rollback, and the follow-through that stuck.
• →Architecture change you led across multiple systems: quantified the bottleneck, preserved compatibility through migration, and others extended it after you without redesigning its core.
• →You grow engineers with calibrated feedback on L4/L5 designs; product is a peer, not a queue.
