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:
- Define and own the frontend architectural vision for complex, high-scale products
- Design scalable component systems, UI frameworks, and internal tooling
- Translate product requirements and Figma designs into robust technical architecture
- Lead performance optimization, accessibility, security, and scalability initiatives
- Break down complex problems, propose long-term technical strategies, and influence roadmap
- Build reusable libraries, design systems, and internal packages for engineering efficiency
- Review critical code paths, guide engineering best practices, and maintain technical excellence
- Work closely with Product, Design, and Backend to shape end-to-end solutions
- Mentor and upskill senior engineers, enabling them to operate at an architect level
What We're Looking For:
- 4 to 8 years of frontend engineering experience with deep React.js and TypeScript expertise
- Strong background in architecting large-scale, distributed, modular frontend systems
- Mastery of modern state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, React Query, or similar)
- Expert in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Web APIs, browser internals, and performance tuning
- Strong with build tools (Webpack, Vite, Turborepo), bundling, and optimization strategies
- Ability to design UI frameworks, component libraries, and cross-platform solutions
- Solid understanding of REST, GraphQL, caching, and client-side data architecture
- Strong debugging skills and experience resolving production-scale issues
- Experience with automated testing (Jest, RTL, Cypress) and CI/CD workflows
Good to Have:
- Experience with Next.js, micro-frontends, or SSR architectures
- Worked with design systems (Storybook, MUI, Chakra, Radix)
- Contribution to open-source projects or internal engineering frameworks
- Knowledge of web security, accessibility, and SEO optimization
- Background in mentoring engineering teams or owning cross-functional initiatives
Why Join Us:
- Architect the core frontend foundation of a product used globally
- Work with world-class engineers building the future of AI-driven development
- Impact product velocity, quality, and engineering culture at scale
- Flexible, high-ownership, remote-friendly environment
- Learn fast, ship faster, and influence the next decade of software creation
Benefits and Perks:
- 401(k)
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- 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.

What We Do
Backed by Lightspeed, Y Combinator, Together Fund, and Prosus, Emergent is reimagining how software gets built. Our vision is to democratize development, enabling anyone with an idea to become a creator and making software accessible to a billion people worldwide. Our autonomous coding agents turn plain-language ideas into fully functional applications, tested, version-controlled, and deployable in minutes. What once took weeks now happens with a single click. Enterprises use Emergent to write, maintain, and test millions of lines of code autonomously, cutting development cycles from months to days. Headquartered in San Francisco, we’re led by repeat entrepreneurs with a proven track record of building successful startups, joined by a world-class team of Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni, and veterans from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox. Together, we’re building at the frontier of AI and systems engineering—shipping daily and setting new standards for AI-driven development. In just 90 days, we scaled to $15M ARR, making us one of the fastest-growing AI startups in the world, with users across 180+ countries. Join us in shaping the future of software development.
