AI Security Engineer - Infrastructure Cloud

About Emergent

Emergent builds autonomous coding agents that replace traditional software development by generating, testing, and deploying production applications directly from plain-language intent. Since public launch, Emergent has crossed $100M ARR with 10M+ users across 190+ countries who have built 12M+ applications. Backed by Creaegis, Claypond, Sentinel Global, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, and Y Combinator.

The team is built by repeat founders, Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni, and leaders from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox.

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

• 6 to 12 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

Benefits and Perks

• Daily meals: lunch and dinner provided
• Family insurance: ₹5L coverage for you and your family
• Unlimited paid time off
• Flexible working hours
