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.

- Create a predictable hiring engine: dashboards, pipelines, forecasts, and weekly hiring rhythms.
- Develop and mentor recruiters as we scale the talent team.
- Continuously improve candidate experience: every candidate should leave impressed, even if we don't hire them.
What We're Looking For:
- 4 to 10 years of experience in high-growth tech startup hiring, preferably in product, AI, or SaaS.
- Proven track record of scaling teams fast without dropping the bar.
- Strong experience hiring engineers and senior non-tech roles.
