About this role
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 reached $100M ARR in 8 months. 6M+ users across 190+ countries have built 6.5M+ applications on Emergent. We've raised $100M+ , 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:
• 5 to 11 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:
• Build next-gen tools for 1B+ creators
• 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: Lunch and Dinner provided
• Family Insurance: 3 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family

• Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments
Let's build the future of software together.
