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 our public launch, we've crossed $100M in ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Claypond, Sentinel Global, 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.

The Role:
We're looking for a Analytics Leader to own the entire data and analytics function at one of the fastest-scaling AI platforms in the world. You'll define what we measure, how we measure it, and how data drives every major decision across product, growth, finance, and leadership.

This is a player-coach role. You'll set the analytics vision, build and lead a high-performing team, and still stay close enough to the data to pressure-test a pricing model or debug an attribution issue yourself. You'll report directly to leadership and act as the single source of truth for business-critical metrics: revenue, retention, conversion, and unit economics. Critically, this is an AI-native analytics leadership role. You'll build a function where AI tools (Claude, MCP integrations, agentic pipelines) are core infrastructure, not add-ons, enabling a lean team to deliver the output of one many times its size.

What You'll Do:

• Own the company-wide analytics strategy: define the metrics framework, north-star KPIs, and reporting cadence used by leadership, product, growth, and finance
• Build, hire, and lead the analytics team, setting the bar for rigor, speed, and self-serve enablement across the company
• Own subscription and revenue analytics end-to-end: MRR, churn, cohort retention, LTV/CAC, conversion funnels, and usage-based billing models
• Architect and govern the modern data stack (BigQuery, PostgreSQL, event pipelines), partnering with engineering on data quality, schema design, and pipeline reliability
• Establish experimentation as a discipline: design the A/B testing framework, define statistical standards, and ensure proper attribution across channels
• Deliver strategic analysis for high-stakes decisions: pricing changes, market expansion, product bets, and fundraising narratives
• Build production dashboards and alerting systems that leadership relies on daily, and evolve the analytics knowledge base so teams can self-serve
• Champion AI-native analytics: deploy Claude, MCP servers, and agentic workflows to automate exploration, anomaly detection, query generation, and reporting at scale
• Act as the trusted data partner to the CEO, CFO, and functional leaders, translating complex analysis into clear, decision-ready recommendations

Who You Are:

• 12+ years in analytics or data science, with 3+ years leading and scaling analytics teams at high-growth B2C/SaaS or PLG companies
• Deep expertise in subscription and SaaS metrics: MRR, churn, cohort analysis, LTV modeling, conversion funnels, and usage-based billing
• Elite SQL proficiency: you think in CTEs and window functions, understand partitioning tradeoffs, and validate results against multiple sources instinctively
• Proven track record of building analytics functions from scratch or through hypergrowth: hiring, tooling, metric governance, and stakeholder trust
• Strong command of the modern data stack: BigQuery or similar warehouses, dbt, product analytics tools (PostHog, Mixpanel, Amplitude), and BI platforms
• Experimentation depth: you've designed and governed A/B testing programs and understand statistical rigor, identity stitching, and multi-touch attribution
• A hypothesis-driven operator: you form a thesis, test it iteratively, and revise when the data disagrees, and you've taught teams to do the same
• Genuine conviction in AI-native workflows: you use AI assistants and agentic tools daily and have strong opinions on how they transform analytics work
• Executive-grade communication: you can walk into a board meeting or a leadership review and land a data-backed recommendation in five minutes
• Comfort with ambiguity and messy, evolving data infrastructure: you unblock yourself and your team without waiting for perfect pipelines

Nice to Have:

• Experience at a developer tools, AI, or vibe coding platform
• Python fluency for statistical modeling and automation
• Prior ownership of finance-adjacent analytics: revenue recognition, forecasting, and unit economics for board reporting
• Experience partnering directly with engineering on event-driven data models and behavioral analytics
• Early-stage startup experience where you built the analytics layer from zero to scale

Benefits and Perks:

• Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
• Family Insurance: 3 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
• Unlimited Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed
• Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments

Let's build the future of software together.
