Data Engineer

Emergent is reimagining how software gets built. Our vision is to democratize development, enabling anyone with an idea to become a creator and making software accessible to 1 billion people worldwide.

Our autonomous coding agents turn plain-language ideas into fully functional applications that are tested, version-controlled, and deployable in minutes. What once took weeks now happens with a single click.

We're led by repeat entrepreneurs who have built successful startups before, joined by a world-class team of Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni, and veterans from Google, Dropbox, and other top product companies. Together, we're building at the frontier of AI and systems engineering.

With this team, we're shipping daily and setting new standards for AI-driven software development. In just 10 weeks, Emergent reached 10 million users, making us the fastest-growing AI startup today.

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable data pipelines and infrastructure.
• Develop ETL/ELT processes to collect, process, and curate structured and unstructured data from various sources.
• Collaborate with data scientists, analysts, and product teams to understand data needs and ensure data reliability and accessibility.
• Optimize data systems for performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability.
• Ensure data quality, security, and compliance best practices are followed.
• Implement and maintain data models, data lakes, warehouses (e.g., Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake), and real-time streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, Spark).
• Document systems and contribute to internal data engineering standards and playbooks.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in a data engineering or similar backend role.
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and one or more data orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect).
• Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Familiarity with data modeling, warehousing concepts, and distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of data governance, privacy, and security principles.
• Experience with tools like dbt, Kafka, Spark, or similar technologies is a plus.
• Bonus: Background in ML pipelines, MLOps, or DevOps practices.
