Frontend Engineer

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 public launch, Emergent has reached $100M ARR in 8 months. 6M+ users across 190+ countries have built 6.5M+ applications on Emergent. We've raised $100M+, backed by 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.

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:

• 4 to 8 years of frontend engineering experience with deep React.js and 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, accessibility, 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

Benefits and Perks:

• 401(k)


• Health, dental, and vision insurance


• 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.
