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 $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.

What You'll Do:

  • Build a system to conduct and evangelise user research at high frequency
  • Independently plan and execute generative and evaluative research, including user interviews, usability testing, surveys, contextual inquiries, diary studies, concept testing, and journey mapping
  • Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, Engineers, and business stakeholders to ensure research insights inform product roadmaps, feature prioritization, and design decisions
  • Analyze qualitative and quantitative data to identify user needs, behaviors, pain points, and opportunities
  • Create clear research outputs such as insight reports, personas, journey maps, opportunity frameworks, and product recommendations
  • Present findings to stakeholders and leadership through compelling storytelling and actionable recommendations
  • Mentor junior researchers and help strengthen user-centered thinking across the organization
  • Improve research operations, including templates, repositories, processes, tools, and best practices
  • Advocate for inclusive, accessible, and evidence-based product experiences

What We're Looking For:

  • 6+ years of hands-on experience independently planning and executing UX research
  • Strong experience with both generative and evaluative research methods
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive Science, Psychology, Anthropology, Design, Sociology, or a related field preferred
  • Proficiency with research and analysis tools such as UserTesting, Qualtrics, Optimal Workshop, Dovetail, Maze, Lookback, Miro, Figma, Axure, or similar
  • Strong ability to synthesize complex findings into practical product and design recommendations
  • Excellent storytelling, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to articulate the user and business impact of research-driven decisions
  • Experience working in cross-functional product teams in fast-paced or agile environments
  • Portfolio or case studies demonstrating research impact on product strategy, design, or business outcomes

Good to Have:

  • Experience with B2C products, AI-powered products, consumer applications, marketplaces, or similar digital products
  • Experience building or scaling research operations
  • Familiarity with product analytics, experimentation, or behavioral data
  • Experience conducting accessibility or inclusive design research

Why Join Us:

  • Research insights directly shape product strategy, prioritization, and design direction
  • Teams make better decisions because they have a clearer understanding of users
  • Research leads to measurable improvements in usability, adoption, satisfaction, and business outcomes
  • Stakeholders see UX research as a strategic partner throughout the product lifecycle

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.
