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:

• Define and own the frontend architectural vision for complex, high-scale products
• Design scalable component systems, UI frameworks, and internal tooling
• Translate product requirements and Figma designs into robust technical architecture
• Lead performance optimization, accessibility, security, and scalability initiatives

• Strong with build tools (Webpack, Vite, Turborepo), bundling, and optimization strategies
• Ability to design UI frameworks, component libraries, and cross-platform solutions
• Solid understanding of REST, GraphQL, caching, and client-side data architecture
• Strong debugging skills and experience resolving production-scale issues
• Experience with automated testing (Jest, RTL, Cypress) and CI/CD workflows

Good to Have:

• Experience with Next.js, micro-frontends, or SSR architectures
• Worked with design systems (Storybook, MUI, Chakra, Radix)
• Contribution to open-source projects or internal engineering frameworks
• Knowledge of web security, accessibility, and SEO optimization
• Background in mentoring engineering teams or owning cross-functional initiatives

Why Join Us:

• Architect the core frontend foundation of a product used globally
• Work with world-class engineers building the future of AI-driven development
• Impact product velocity, quality, and engineering culture at scale
• Flexible, high-ownership, remote-friendly environment
• Learn fast, ship faster, and influence the next decade of software creation

Benefits and Perks:

• Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
• Family Insurance: 3 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
