We’re well‑funded by the top investors and angels in the world. Ema is based in Silicon Valley and Bangalore. This will be a hybrid role where we expect employees to work from office three days a week.

Who are you?

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join the Ema team. You are passionate about designing and developing maintainable software applications. You are a creative problem solver who thrives in ambiguity and can make abstract problems concrete. Most importantly, you are excited to be part of a mission‑oriented, fast‑paced, high‑growth startup that can create a lasting impact.

You Will:

1. Design, develop, and implement exceptional user interfaces for web applications, using modern web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
2. Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and other stakeholders to gather requirements, own the user experience, develop wireframes, and create high‑fidelity prototypes.
3. Develop and maintain API integrations, ensuring seamless communication between front‑end and back‑end systems, as well as with third‑party services.
4. Build, test, and deploy web applications using a variety of web development frameworks, such as React, Angular, Vue.js, or Next.js.
5. Troubleshoot and resolve UI‑related issues, guaranteeing a consistent and optimal user experience across multiple platforms and devices.
6. Build end‑to‑end writing clean, maintainable, and well‑documented code, adhering to established coding standards and deploy/debug using platforms like Vercel.

Ideally, you'd have:

1. Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Web Development, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
2. A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in UI engineering, with a focus on API integration, data visualization, and web app development.
3. Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as experience with modern front‑end frameworks, such as React, Angular, Vue.js or Next.js.
4. Experience with RESTful and gRPC APIs and API integration, as well as familiarity with JSON, XML, and OAuth.
5. Knowledge of back‑end technologies, such as Python, and experience with server‑side frameworks, such as FastAPI, is a plus.
6. Familiarity with version control systems, such as Git, and build/deploy platforms such as Vercel.
7. Excellent problem‑solving and analytical skills, with a keen eye for user experience and a strong commitment to delivering the highest‑quality user experience.
8. Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.
9. Experience working with global teams
