About the role

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 $50M ARR in 7 months. 5M+ users across 190+ countries have built 6M+ 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

  • Own and grow Emergent’s presence across short-form platforms (Instagram, TikTok, and emerging channels).
  • Plan and execute a high-volume shortform content calendar with consistent daily output.
  • Ideate, script, shoot, and ship engaging short-form videos end-to-end.
  • Translate product features, launches, and use cases into snackable, high-retention content.
  • Experiment with formats, hooks, trends, and storytelling styles to drive discovery.
  • Collaborate with design, product, and growth teams for aligned messaging.
  • Track performance metrics and iterate quickly based on what’s working.

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–3 years of experience  managing or creating short-form content for brands or creators.
  • Strong understanding of platform-native content, trends, and algorithms.
  • Proven ability to consistently ship  high-quality, high-frequency shortform content.
  • Comfort being hands-on — from ideation to execution.
  • Good visual sense, storytelling ability, and attention to detail.
  • Data-aware mindset with an experimental approach.

Good to Have

  • Experience at fast-growing startups or internet-first brands.
  • Familiarity with creator-led or product-led growth.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, shipping-first environment.

Why Join Us?

  • Build and scale short-form from the ground up at a category-defining AI startup.
  • High ownership, high visibility role with real growth impact.
  • Competitive comp + equity.
  • Fast learning, creative freedom, and a clear growth path.

Let’s build the future of software together.  !:rocket:
