Description

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 hiring end-to-end across multiple functions — from role scoping to offer close. Partner deeply with founders and leaders to define what “A+ talent” means at Emergent. Design and run high-signal interview processes that are fast, fair, and bar-raising. Personally close critical and senior hires. Build and manage top-of-funnel strategy (sourcing, referrals, communities, employer brand inputs). Create a predictable hiring engine — dashboards, pipelines, forecasts, and weekly hiring rhythms. Develop and mentor recruiters as we scale the talent team. Continuously improve candidate experience — every candidate should leave impressed, even if we don’t hire them. What we’re looking for 6–12 years of experience in high-growth tech startup hiring (preferably product/AI/SaaS). Proven track record of scaling teams fast without dropping the bar. Strong experience hiring engineers + senior non-tech roles. Someone who can operate as both strategist and hands-on closer. High ownership mindset — you don’t wait for perfect inputs, you create clarity. Excellent stakeholder management — you can challenge, influence, and align leaders. Deep belief that talent is the biggest competitive advantage.

Responsibilities

The Talent Acquisition Lead will own the hiring process end-to-end across multiple functions and partner with leaders to define what constitutes 'A+ talent'. They will also design and run interview processes, manage sourcing strategies, and improve the candidate experience.
