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.
