Staff Engineer - Frontend

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.
