AI Security Engineer - Infrastructure Cloud

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 $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. 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 infra (IAM, VPCs, secrets, workloads) Design zero-trust systems across services Build secure service-to-service communication Runtime security & detection Build detection systems for: abnormal execution patterns malicious workloads 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 6–12 years in Cloud / Infrastructure Security Deep experience in: AWS/GCP Kubernetes, containers IAM & secrets management Strong understanding of: container security network security runtime protection What Sets You Apart Experience with: sandboxed execution environments serverless or ephemeral compute high-scale multi-tenant systems You think like: “What happens when millions of unknown programs run on my infra?” Why Emergent Build security for AI systems that build software Operate at global scale (millions of apps, millions of users) Work directly with founders and core engineering Solve problems that don’t exist anywhere else yet Benefits and Perks: Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided Family Insurance: 3 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family Unlimited Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments Let's build the future of software together.
