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 $130M 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. We’re looking for a Staff Security Engineer to own security across the full stack—from AI-generated applications and agent pipelines to cloud infrastructure and runtime environments. You’ll: • Secure AI-generated code, applications, and agent pipelines • Design secure multi-tenant cloud & runtime environments • Lead threat modeling, detection, and defense across application and infrastructure layers • Build security controls for AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, containers, IAM, APIs, and CI/CD • Defend against prompt injection, container escapes, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration • Build scalable security frameworks and partner closely with engineering and product teams What We’re Looking For • 8–15+ years of security engineering experience • Strong expertise across Application/Product Security + Cloud/Infrastructure Security • Hands-on experience with AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, containers, IAM, APIs, and threat modeling • Strong coding skills in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or backend systems • Experience securing untrusted/user-generated code and multi-tenant systems • Strong systems thinking and ability to drive security from architecture to implementation Bonus: Experience with AI/LLM security, agentic systems, prompt injection, sandboxing, or large-scale execution environments. Why Emergent • Build security for AI systems that build software. • Solve security problems spanning application, cloud, infrastructure, and AI systems. • Operate at global scale across millions of applications and users. • Work directly with founders and core engineering teams. • Solve security challenges that are emerging with autonomous software creation. 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.
