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. 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.

The Role:
Software engineering is about to change more in the next five years than it has in the last fifty. At Emergent, we're building autonomous coding agents that can generate, test, debug, and deploy production applications directly from plain-language intent.



Not copilots. Not code-completion tools. Complete software systems.

This is not a traditional Staff Engineer role. You won't be optimizing APIs, managing microservices, or incrementally improving existing infrastructure. You will help define the architecture of systems that can eventually replace large portions of the software development lifecycle itself. You'll work on problems at the intersection of distributed systems, autonomous agents, reliability engineering, program synthesis, large-scale infrastructure, runtime execution environments, and verification and correctness. The systems you build will influence how millions of applications are created.

We're now tackling the hardest problems in AI-powered software creation: how autonomous agents reliably build production systems, how we verify correctness when outputs are non-deterministic, how we build trust, safety, observability, and fault
