About the role

View original

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

  • Lead and empower a high-performing team of support professionals handling both technical and non-technical tickets

  • Build scalable support processes that improve throughput and reduce manual intervention, including automation of repetitive workflows through scripting

  • Monitor and improve SLAs, response times, and customer satisfaction metrics by introducing data-driven improvements

  • Collaborate closely with engineering and product teams to identify recurring issues, implement preventive fixes, and enhance product stability

  • Mentor and upskill your team through technical coaching, process reviews, and hands-on problem-solving

  • Continuously optimize operational efficiency by leveraging automation, analytics, and best practices to handle increasing ticket volumes effectively

  • Own the support strategy from tooling and metrics to workflows and knowledge base development

What We're Looking For

  • 8+ years of experience, including 3+ years of team leadership or people management

  • Good understanding of backend and frontend technologies (Python, SQL, React.js, MongoDB)

  • Proven experience in SaaS or AI-driven products with a passion for solving user-facing challenges in fast-paced environments

  • Demonstrated ability to analyze data, identify patterns, and implement long-term, scalable solutions

  • Exceptional problem-solving, debugging, and process-design skills

  • A hands-on leader who's comfortable jumping into technical issues when needed and guiding the team toward excellence

  • You'll Have the Opportunity To:

  • Work with cutting-edge AI technologies while tackling novel analytical and operational challenges

  • Shape the future of customer experience for AI products, designing scalable, human and automation hybrid support systems

  • Drive continuous improvement in both people and processes, making support a key differentiator for Emergent

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with some of the brightest minds in AI and engineering
