Senior Software Engineer - Infrastructure Security
Since our public launch, we've crossed $100M in ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Claypond, Sentinel Global, 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.
The Role:
Emergent runs a massive, multi-tenant, AI-driven execution environment where code is generated and executed continuously. You will secure the infrastructure that powers autonomous software creation.
What You'll Do:
Secure Multi-Tenant Execution Environments
Design sandboxing strategies for untrusted code execution
Prevent container escapes, privilege escalation, and lateral movement
Build isolation at compute, network, and storage layers
Own Cloud Security Architecture
Harden AWS/GCP infrastructure across IAM, VPCs, secrets, and workloads
Design zero-trust systems across services
Build secure service-to-service communication
Runtime Security and Detection
Build detection systems for abnormal execution patterns, malicious workloads, and data exfiltration attempts
Integrate logging, SIEM, and real-time alerting
Secure CI/CD and Agent Pipelines
Protect build systems and deployment pipelines
Prevent supply chain attacks in AI-generated code
Ensure integrity of artifacts
What We're Looking For:
5 to 8 years in Cloud or Infrastructure Security
Deep experience with AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, containers, and IAM and secrets management
Strong understanding of container security, network security, and runtime protection
What Sets You Apart:
Experience with sandboxed execution environments, serverless or ephemeral compute, and high-scale multi-tenant systems
You think like: "What happens when millions of unknown programs run on my infra?"
Why Join Us:
Build security for AI systems that build software
Operate at global scale with millions of apps and millions of users
Work directly with founders and core engineering
Solve problems that don't exist anywhere else yet
