<p>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.</p>
<p>Since our public launch, we've crossed <strong>$130M in Annualised Revenue</strong> and grown to <strong>over 10M users across 190+ countries</strong>, who have built <strong>12M+ applications</strong> on Emergent. We're backed by <strong>Creaegis, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Lightspeed, Together, Y Combinator, Google, Claypond and Sentinel Global.</strong></p>
<p>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 <strong>repeat founders, Olympiad medalists, IIT & IIM alumni,</strong> and leaders from <strong>Google, Amazon, and Dropbox.</strong></p>
<p>We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.</p>
<p><strong>The Role:</strong><br>About 70% of our users have never coded before. They are small business owners, solo founders, and operators who had an idea and no engineer to build it with. We are hiring a filmmaker who works with AI generation tools to make films for our social channels and campaigns. You will make films end-to-end using AI image and video tools: concept, shot list, generation, edit, and finish.</p>
<p>The work has to hold up as film, not as a tech demo. Characters that stay consistent across shots, lighting and grade that match from cut to cut, and a story that works even for someone who has no idea how it was made. Most of our audience is in the US and Europe, and we make everything from 20-second social pieces to longer branded films and campaign work. This is a full-time role based in Bangalore, reporting to the Head of Brand and Marketing.</p>
<p><strong>What You'll Do:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Make short films and social video using AI image and video generation tools, from concept through final cut</li>
<li>Write or develop the story, and build shot lists and storyboards before generating</li>
<li>Prompt, iterate, and curate until the output is genuinely usable, rather than settling for the first acceptable result</li>
<li>Keep characters, wardrobe, locations, and lighting consistent across a full sequence</li>
<li>Edit the generated material into a finished film, with sound design, music, grade, and captions</li>
<li>Combine AI output with live footage, screen recordings, and motion graphics where the piece calls for it</li>
<li>Build and maintain reusable assets: character references, style guides, and prompt libraries the team can work from</li>
<li>Keep pace with new models and tools, and tell us which ones are worth moving to</li>
<li>Work with the writer and the on-camera creator on pieces that mix formats</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What We're Looking For:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A body of AI-generated film work we can watch, where the storytelling is as strong as the visuals</li>
<li>Demonstrated ability to generate realistic imagery and video, with control over composition, lighting, and camera movement</li>
<li>Proven consistency across shots. Show us a sequence, not a collection of standalone frames</li>
<li>Hands-on command of current image and video generation tools, and a clear view of what each one is good for</li>
<li>Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro or Final Cut, plus After Effects</li>
<li>Grounding in the fundamentals: shot composition, coverage, pacing, and continuity</li>
<li>Based in Bangalore, or willing to relocate</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Nice to Have:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Traditional film, animation, or VFX background</li>
<li>Voice and audio generation, including cloning and dubbing</li>
<li>Compositing, rotoscoping, or clean-up work</li>
<li>Experience building repeatable pipelines rather than one-off pieces</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How We Sound:</strong><br>Our tone is dry, direct, and plain. We do not oversell, we avoid hype, and we do not open a video by talking about artificial intelligence.</p>
<p><strong>Benefits and Perks:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided</li>
<li>Family Insurance: 5 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family</li>
<li>Unlimited Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed</li>
<li>Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments</li>
</ol>
<p>Let's build the future of software together.</p>
