AI Security Engineer - Infrastructure Cloud

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:

6 to 12 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.
