The posting

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 $130M in Annualised Revenue and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Lightspeed, Together, Y Combinator, Google, Claypond and Sentinel Global.

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: We are hiring our first in-house Legal Counsel to build Emergent's legal function from the ground up. This is a high-ownership role where you will be the go-to legal partner for the entire company, spanning commercial contracts, corporate matters, data privacy, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance across our India and US entities. You will work directly with the founders and leadership team, moving fast to unblock the business while building the frameworks and processes that let us scale responsibly.

What You'll Do:

  • Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements, including customer contracts, enterprise MSAs, vendor agreements, NDAs, and partnership deals
  • Own data privacy and protection compliance across jurisdictions, including India's DPDP Act, GDPR, and other applicable frameworks
  • Advise on intellectual property strategy, including trademarks, copyrights, open-source usage, and protection of proprietary technology
  • Support corporate matters including fundraising, board governance, cap table management, and cross-border entity structuring
  • Guide product and engineering teams on legal considerations around AI, user data, terms of service, and acceptable use
  • Build scalable contract templates, playbooks, and internal processes to speed up deal cycles
  • Manage relationships with external counsel across India and the US, controlling cost and quality
  • Track evolving AI, technology, and employment regulations and translate them into practical guidance for the business

What We're Looking For:

  • 6 to 10 years of legal experience, with a strong foundation in commercial and technology law
  • Qualified lawyer with an LLB and enrollment with the Bar Council of India
  • Experience in-house at a technology or SaaS company, or at a top-tier law firm serving technology clients
  • Strong command of commercial contracting, data privacy, and intellectual property
  • Ability to operate in ambiguity, prioritize ruthlessly, and give clear, practical advice under time pressure
  • Excellent communication skills and the judgment to know when to be pragmatic versus when to hold the line
  • High ownership mindset with a bias for action

Nice to Have:

  • Exposure to US commercial law and cross-border transactions
  • Experience with AI, data, or developer-focused products
  • Familiarity with fundraising, venture financing, and startup corporate governance
  • Prior experience building a legal function at an early-stage, high-growth company

Why Join Us:

  • Build and own the legal function at one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world
  • Work directly with founders and leadership on decisions that shape the company
  • Broad, varied scope across commercial, corporate, privacy, and IP
  • Fast feedback loops, real ownership, and a front-row seat to how AI-native products are built

Benefits and Perks:

  1. Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
  2. Family Insurance: 5 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
  3. Unlimited Paid Time Off: Take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed
  4. Flexible Working Hours: Work arrangements that fit your life and commitments

Let's build the future of software together.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
