About the 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 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
This is not a traditional finance role. As CFO, you will work directly with the founders and leadership team to shape company strategy, capital allocation, fundraising, operational planning, and long-term value creation. You will help build the financial and operational foundation for a company operating at exceptional scale and speed, answering some of the most important questions facing the business: how to invest capital to maximize long-term growth, how to scale from $100M ARR to billions in revenue, how AI infrastructure economics evolve over time, and what a public-company-ready operating system looks like. Also, scope of the role will be aligned as per the interview feedback and overall fitment.
What You'll Own:
- Partner directly with the founders on company strategy and long-range planning, leading company-wide financial planning, forecasting, and resource allocation.
- Develop frameworks for evaluating investments across product, infrastructure, growth, and enterprise, and help drive key decisions around pricing, monetization, and expansion.
- Lead future financing activities across venture capital, growth equity, strategic capital, and debt, building relationships with investors, financial institutions, and strategic partners.
