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 **$100M 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:**
Secure Multi-Tenant Execution Environments
- Design sandboxing strategies for untrusted code execution
- Prevent container escapes, privilege escalation, and lateral movement
- Build isolation at compute, network, and storage layers
Own Cloud Security Architecture
- Harden AWS/GCP infrastructure across IAM, VPCs, secrets, and workloads
- Design zero-trust systems across services
- Build secure service-to-service communication
Runtime Security and Detection
- Build detection systems for abnormal execution patterns, malicious workloads, and data exfiltration attempts
- Integrate logging, SIEM, and real-time alerting
Secure CI/CD and Agent Pipelines
- Protect build systems and deployment pipelines
- Prevent supply chain attacks in AI-generated code
- Ensure integrity of artifacts
**What We're Looking For:**
- 5 to 8 years in Cloud or Infrastructure Security
- Deep experience with AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, containers, and IAM and secrets management
- Strong understanding of container security, network security, and runtime protection
**What Sets You Apart:**
- Experience with sandboxed execution environments, serverless or ephemeral compute, and high-scale multi-tenant systems
- You think like: "What happens when millions of unknown programs run on my infra?"
**Why Join Us:**
- Build security for AI systems that build software
- Operate at global scale with millions of apps and millions of users
- Work directly with founders and core engineering
- Solve problems that don't exist anywhere else yet
**Benefits and Perks:**
1. Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
2. Family Insurance: 5 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
3. Unlimited Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed
4. Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments
Let's build the future of software together.
