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.
**What You'll Do:**
### **What You’ll Do**
**Secure AI-generated applications at scale**
- Define security patterns for applications generated by AI agents
- Enforce guardrails across auth, data access, APIs, and business logic
- Build frameworks to ensure secure-by-default app generation
**Design “secure generation” systems**
- Work directly with AI/agent pipelines to prevent insecure code from being produced
- Build validation layers for generated code (static + semantic)
- Detect prompt injection and adversarial input patterns
**Own application threat modeling**
- Identify vulnerabilities in dynamic app creation flows
- Analyze risks in multi-tenant user-generated environments
- Build reusable threat models for agent-driven systems
**Build developer-facing security primitives**
- Auth systems, permission frameworks, secure SDKs
- Secure API gateways and rate limiting
- Input/output validation layers for LLM-driven flows
**Red team AI-generated apps**
- Break applications generated by Emergent agents
- Identify systemic weaknesses vs one-off bugs
- Feed learnings back into generation systems
### **What We’re Looking For**
- 5–10+ years in **Application Security **
- Strong coding ability (Python, JS/TS, backend systems)
- Deep understanding of:
- OWASP Top 10
- Auth & session management
- API security
- Injection & sandbox escape vectors
- Experience working closely with product/engineering teams
### **What Sets You Apart**
- You think in **systems, not vulnerabilities**
- You want to **prevent insecure code from ever existing**
- Experience with:
- AI/LLM systems
- Prompt injection & output validation
- Secure code generation systems
**Why Emergent**
- Build security for **AI systems that build software**
- Operate at **global scale (millions of apps, millions of users)**
- Work directly with founders and core engineering
- Solve problems that don’t exist anywhere else yet
