About the role
Emergent is reimagining how software gets built. Our vision is to democratize development, enabling anyone with an idea to become a creator and making software accessible to 1 billion people worldwide.
Our autonomous coding agents transform plain-language ideas into fully functional applications that are tested, version-controlled, and deployable in minutes. What once took weeks now happens with a single click.
Backed by ex-founders, ex-CTOs, and top talent from IITs and IIMs, we’re one of India’s fastest-growing AI startups—shipping daily and setting new standards for AI-driven software development.
What You’ll Do • Define and own the frontend architectural vision for complex, high-scale products • Design scalable component systems, UI frameworks, and internal tooling • Translate product requirements and Figma designs into robust technical architecture • Lead performance optimization, accessibility, security, and scalability initiatives • Break down complex problems, propose long-term technical strategies, and influence roadmap • Build reusable libraries, design systems, and internal packages for engineering efficiency • Review critical code paths, guide engineering best practices, and maintain technical excellence • Work closely with Product, Design, and Backend to shape end-to-end solutions • Mentor and upskill senior engineers, enabling them to operate at an architect level
What We’re Looking For • 9 to 12 years of frontend engineering experience with deep React.js + TypeScript expertise • Strong background in architecting large-scale, distributed, modular frontend systems • Mastery of modern state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, React Query, or similar) • Expert in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Web APIs, Browser internals, and performance tuning • Strong with build tools (Webpack, Vite, Turborepo), bundling, and optimization strategies • Ability to design UI frameworks, component libraries, and cross-platform solutions • Solid understanding of REST, GraphQL, caching, and client-side data architecture • Strong debugging skills and experience resolving production-scale issues • Experience with automated testing (Jest, RTL, Cypress) and CI/CD workflows
Good to Have • Experience with Next.js, micro-frontends, or SSR architectures • Worked with design systems (Storybook, MUI, Chakra, Radix) • Contribution to open-source projects or internal engineering frameworks • Knowledge of web security, a11y, and SEO optimization • Background in mentoring engineering teams or owning cross-functional initiatives
Why Join Us? • Architect the core frontend foundation of a product used globally • Work with world-class engineers building the future of AI-driven development • Impact product velocity, quality, and engineering culture at scale • Flexible, high-ownership, remote-friendly environment • Learn fast, ship faster, and influence the next decade of software creation
Let’s build the future of software together.
