About the company
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 ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We’re backed by Creaegis, Claypond, Sentinel Global, 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:
Emergent runs a massive, multi-tenant, AI driven execution environment where code is generated and executed continuously. You will secure the infrastructure that powers autonomous software creation.
We’re looking for a Staff Security Engineer to own security across the full stack—from AI-generated applications and agent pipelines to cloud infrastructure and runtime environments.
