Job description:

 

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:**

1. Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
2. Family Insurance: 3 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
