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 our public launch, we've crossed $130M in Annualised Revenue and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Lightspeed, Together, Y Combinator, Google, Claypond and Sentinel Global.
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 looking for a Vibe Coding Intern, someone who ships weird, fun, sharp little internet projects for the joy of it. If your GitHub or Twitter/X feed already has a scrappy AI side project that made a few hundred people go "wait, this is genuinely clever," you're exactly who we want to talk to.
Think: things in the spirit of the recent viral sites like the bribe-tracking site, the barbershop playlist tracker, the "blore bloom" flower-tracking map, or whatever micro-trend of the week got Bengaluru tech-Twitter buzzing. We want that same instinct, fast, funny, useful, slightly unhinged, built in a weekend, applied to real problems for us. This is a 3-month internship based in Bengaluru (in-office/hybrid).
What You'll Do:
- Rapid-prototype ideas using AI coding tools (Emergent, Claude Cowork, etc.), going from "wouldn't it be funny/useful if..." to a working demo in days, not sprints
- Build small full-stack tools: scrapers, trackers, dashboards, bots, and niche web apps
- Take half-baked ideas from the team (or bring your own) and turn them into something people can actually click on
- Write just enough clean code that the thing doesn't fall over, without over-engineering it
- Share what you build, internally and sometimes publicly
What We're Looking For:
- You've shipped at least 3 live, working AI side projects (even silly ones), a link matters more than a resume line
- Comfortable working fast with AI coding assistants as your primary tool, not just autocomplete
- Decent grip on JS/Python, APIs, and deploying something to the actual internet (Vercel, Railway, Render, whatever)
- Curious, online, and plugged into internet, meme, and tech culture: you notice trends before they're trends
Good to Have:
- You've built something that scraped, tracked, or visualized real-world data (prices, locations, sentiment, whatever)
Benefits and Perks:
- Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
- 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.
Skills Required
- At least 3 live, working AI side projects
- Comfortable using AI coding assistants as a primary development tool
- Working knowledge of JavaScript or Python
- Working knowledge of APIs
- Experience deploying applications to the internet
- Curiosity about internet, meme, and technology culture
- Experience scraping, tracking, or visualizing real-world data
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.
