Script Writer

Backed by Lightspeed, Y Combinator, Together Fund, and Prosus, 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 a billion people worldwide.

Our autonomous coding agents turn plain-language ideas into fully functional applications, tested, version-controlled, and deployable in minutes. What once took weeks now happens with a single click. Enterprises use Emergent to write, maintain, and test millions of lines of code autonomously, cutting development cycles from months to days.

Headquartered in San Francisco, we’re led by repeat entrepreneurs with a proven track record of building successful startups, joined by a world-class team of Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni, and veterans from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox. Together, we’re building at the frontier of AI and systems engineering—shipping daily and setting new standards for AI-driven development.

In just 90 days, we scaled to $15M ARR, making us one of the fastest-growing AI startups in the world, with users across 180+ countries.

Join us in shaping the future of software development.
