Frontend Engineer - Architect

Frontend Architect

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 transform 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.

Backed by ex-founders, ex-CTOs, and top talent from IITs and IIMs, we’re one of India’s fastest-growing AI startups—shipping daily and setting new standards for AI-driven software development.

What You’ll Do

• Define and own the frontend architectural vision for complex, high-scale products
• Design scalable component systems, UI frameworks, and internal tooling
• Translate product requirements and Figma designs into robust technical architecture
• Lead performance optimization, accessibility, security, and scalability initiatives
• Break down complex problems, propose long-term technical strategies, and influence roadmap
• Build reusable libraries, design systems, and internal packages for engineering efficiency
• Review critical code paths, guide engineering best practices, and maintain technical excellence
• Work closely with Product, Design, and Backend to shape end-to-end solutions
• Mentor and upskill senior engineers, enabling them to operate at an architect level

What We’re Looking For

• 8–12 years of frontend engineering experience with deep React.js + TypeScript expertise
• Strong background in architecting large-scale, distributed, modular frontend systems
• Mastery of modern state management (Redux, Zustand, Recoil, React Query, or similar)
• Expert in JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Web APIs, Browser internals, and performance tuning
• Strong with build tools (Webpack, Vite, Turborepo), bundling, and optimization strategies
• Ability to design UI frameworks, component libraries, and cross-platform solutions
• Solid understanding of REST, GraphQL, caching, and client-side data architecture
• Strong debugging skills and experience resolving production-scale issues
• Experience with automated testing (Jest, RTL, Cypress) and CI/CD workflows

Good to Have

• Experience with Next.js, micro-frontends, or SSR architectures
• Worked with design systems (Storybook, MUI, Chakra, Radix)
• Contribution to open-source projects or internal engineering frameworks
• Knowledge of web security, a11y, and SEO optimization
• Background in mentoring engineering teams or owning cross-functional initiatives

Why Join Us?

• Architect the core frontend foundation of a product used globally
• Work with world-class engineers building the future of AI-driven development
• Impact product velocity, quality, and engineering culture at scale
• Flexible, high-ownership, remote-friendly environment
• Learn fast, ship faster, and influence the next decade of software creation

Let’s build the future of software together.
