About this role
<div class="textLayer">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.</div>
<div class="textLayer"><br>Since public launch, Emergent has reached <strong>$50M ARR in 7 months</strong>. <strong>5M+ users across 190+ countries</strong> have built <strong>6M+ applications</strong> on Emergent. We’ve raised <strong>$100M</strong>, backed by <strong>Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, and Y Combinator</strong>.</div>
<div class="textLayer"><br>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.</div>
