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.
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: • Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided • Family Insurance: 5 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family • Unlimited Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed • Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments
Let's build the future of software together.
