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 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.

What You'll Do:

• Build and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services
• Write clean, efficient code in Python and Go
• Design and optimize systems for speed, reliability, and distributed scale
• Work closely with ML, Infra, and Frontend teams to ship end-to-end features
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and tech planning
• Solve complex systems problems and contribute to architectural decisions

What We're Looking For:

• 3 to 7 years of backend or systems development experience
• Proficient in Python and/or Go
• Strong grasp of distributed systems, concurrency, and performance optimization
• Experience building APIs, microservices, or cloud-native apps
• 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:

• Work with a high-caliber, maker-first team
• Competitive comp and equity
• Fast learning, real impact, and clear growth path

Benefits and Perks:

• Daily Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner provided
• Family Insurance: 5 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.
