About the role
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.
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
- 9 to 12 years of frontend engineering experience with deep React.js + TypeScript expertise
- Strong background in architecting large-scale, distributed, modular frontend systems

- 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, a11y, 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
Let’s build the future of software together.
