Build and maintain scalable backend services in Python and Go. Design distributed systems for performance, reliability, and scale; develop APIs, microservices, and cloud-native applications; collaborate with ML, infrastructure, and frontend teams; participate in code reviews and architectural planning; and solve complex systems problems.
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 crossed $100M in ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries. We're 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:
- Build and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services
- Write clean, efficient code in Python and Go
- Design and optimize systems for speed, reliability, and distributed scale
- Work closely with ML, Infra, and Frontend teams to ship end-to-end features
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and tech planning
- Solve complex systems problems and contribute to architectural decisions
What We're Looking For:
- 3 to 7 years of backend or systems development experience
- Proficient in Python and/or Go
- Strong grasp of distributed systems, concurrency, and performance optimization
- Experience building APIs, microservices, or cloud-native apps
- Familiar with Git, CI/CD workflows, and monitoring tools
- Comfortable working in fast-paced, collaborative environments
Good to Have:
- Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud infra (AWS/GCP)
- Familiarity with message queues, caching, or databases at scale
- Exposure to ML/AI engineering or infra-related tooling
- Contributions to open-source or side projects
Why Join Us:
- Build next-gen tools for 1B+ creators
- Work with a high-caliber, maker-first team
- Competitive comp and equity
- Fast learning, real impact, and clear growth path
Benefits and Perks:
- Daily Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner provided
- Family Insurance: 5 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
- 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.
