Staff Engineer

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 $100M in ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries. We're 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.

• Architect agent infrastructure: design the systems that allow autonomous agents to plan, reason, execute, recover from failures, and continuously improve
• Build for planetary scale: develop backend and infrastructure systems supporting millions of applications, billions of agent actions, and globally distributed workloads
• Solve reliability for non-deterministic systems: create new approaches for validation, observability, debugging, evaluation, and fault tolerance where traditional software engineering assumptions no longer apply
• Drive technical direction: set architectural standards across infrastructure, platform, agent runtime, and distributed execution systems
• Create new engineering paradigms: many of the challenges you'll face don't have established solutions and you'll be expected to invent them
• Raise the bar: influence engineering culture, mentor senior engineers, and help build one of the highest-talent-density engineering organizations in the industry

• Engineers who prefer first-principles thinking over established playbooks
• Builders who want ownership rather than coordination
• People who enjoy solving ambiguous, unsolved technical problems
• Engineers who optimize for impact, not titles
• Individuals who want to help define an entirely new category of software
