Role summary

Emergent is seeking a Software Engineering Intern to build and ship production systems using AI. The intern will work with experienced engineers on infrastructure, AI/ML, and product teams, taking ownership of projects from design to deployment. Responsibilities include building backend services with Python/Go, learning about distributed systems, and participating in development workflows. The role requires a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, or Java), and hands-on experience. Preferred qualifications include exposure to cloud platforms, Docker, Kubernetes, and backend development. This is a remote internship opportunity with competitive compensation and mentorship.

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 our public launch, we've crossed $130M in Annualised Revenue and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Lightspeed, Together, Y Combinator, Google, Claypond and Sentinel Global.

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, and leaders from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox.

We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.
