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.
The Role: We're building AI coding agents that can plan, build, test, and ship real software. Your role is to turn LLM model and system capabilities into measurable, shippable improvements in agent performance. You will own experimentation and shipping decisions, what we try, how we measure better, what goes live, and what gets rolled back.
What You'll Do:
Develop deep intuition for LLM and agent behavior, identifying failure modes and regressions
Define and run high-leverage experiments to improve agent quality, reliability, and code outcomes
Ship improvements with clear metrics, evaluation gates, staged rollouts, and rollback criteria
Define evaluation frameworks and work with engineering teams to measure agent quality at scale
Drive initiatives around context engineering, memory systems, and frontier agent capabilities
Think like the agent, continuously making it smarter, more reliable, and more useful
Who You Are:
5+ years of software engineering experience with end-to-end ownership
Strong technical depth paired with sharp product intuition
Comfortable working with metrics, experimentation, SQL, and/or Python
Able to thrive in ambiguity and move fast with rigor
Hands-on and up-to-date with emerging AI research and industry trends
Benefits and Perks:
Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
Family Insurance: 3 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
Unlimited Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed
Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments
Let's build the future of software together.
