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 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:
- 6 to 10 years of backend or systems development experience
- Proficient in Python and/or Go
- Strong grasp of distributed systems, concurrency, and performance optimization
