<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">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.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Since public launch, Emergent has reached <strong>$100M ARR in 8 months. 6M+ users across 190+ countries</strong> have built <strong>6.5M+ applications</strong> on Emergent. We've raised <strong>$100M+</strong>, backed by <strong>Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, and Y Combinator.</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">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 <strong>repeat founders, Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni,</strong> and leaders from <strong>Google, Amazon, and Dropbox.</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>The Role:</strong> Security at Emergent isn't a checkbox, it's a core engineering discipline. With 6M+ users generating and deploying real applications every day, our attack surface is unique. We're looking for a Security Engineer who thinks like an attacker, builds like a product engineer, and operates with the urgency of a founder. You'll own security across the full stack, from AI agent pipelines and cloud infrastructure to the applications our users generate and deploy at scale.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What You'll Do:</strong></p>

<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Secure the AI-native stack end to end: design, implement, and continuously improve security controls across AI agent pipelines, multi-tenant cloud infrastructure, APIs, and user-generated application environments</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Lead threat modelling and attack surface analysis: proactively identify risks in new product features, infrastructure changes, and AI-generated code patterns. Catch vulnerabilities at design time, not after deployment</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Build and own vulnerability management: run automated security scans (SAST, DAST, SCA), triage findings by exploitability and impact, drive remediation, and track resolution to closure</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Harden AI-generated application environments: define and enforce sandboxing strategies, code execution boundaries, secret handling standards, and runtime security controls</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Drive security in the SDLC: embed security tooling and review gates into CI/CD pipelines, champion secure coding practices, conduct code reviews, and run internal red-teaming exercises</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Detect, respond, and learn: build detection coverage using cloud-native logging and SIEM tooling. Lead incident response, triage, contain, eradicate, and produce clear post-mortems</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own compliance and trust: maintain and mature security posture against SOC 2, ISO 27001, and cloud security benchmarks. Serve as technical point of contact for customer security reviews</li>
