About the role

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 Annualised Revenue and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries , who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Lightspeed, Together, Y Combinator, Google, Claypond and Sentinel Global.

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:
We're looking for highly driven Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) who enjoy solving complex problems, working closely with customers, and turning real-world challenges into scalable solutions.

  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on production-grade applications
  • Debug complex issues across applications, integrations, APIs, and workflows
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams to drive customer outcomes
  • Identify recurring customer problems and turn them into scalable product and process improvements
  • Own projects end-to-end, from understanding requirements to deployment and iteration
  • Work in a fast-paced environment where speed, ownership, and problem-solving are highly valued

What We're Looking For:

  • Strong software engineering or technical problem-solving experience
  • Experience building and deploying web applications or software products
  • Comfortable working with APIs, databases, debugging, and integrations
  • Ability to quickly learn new technologies and work across the stack
  • Strong understanding of software development fundamentals
  • Excellent communication and customer-facing skills
  • Strong ownership mindset with the ability to work independently in ambiguous situations
  • Ability to move quickly, experiment, and deliver high-quality solutions
  • Experience with AI/LLM-based tools is a plus
  • Willingness to work night shifts aligned with US and European time zones

Why Join Us:

  • Work at the forefront of AI-powered software development
  • Solve real-world problems for customers at global scale
  • High ownership and direct impact on product and customer outcomes
  • Work alongside exceptional engineers, founders, and operators
  • Be part of a fast-moving team building the future of software
