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 crossed $100M in ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries. We're 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

• 6 to 9 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
