Join Emergent, a groundbreaking AI company revolutionizing software development. We're building autonomous coding agents that generate, test, and deploy production applications directly from plain-language intent. Our platform is already powering millions of real applications globally and has achieved over $100M in ARR. Backed by leading VCs, we're at the forefront of AI-driven software creation, focusing on correctness, reliability, security, and scale.

We are seeking dynamic builders who thrive on ownership, speed, and global impact to join our expanding team.

As a foundational Talent Partner in our US office, you will own the people function during a critical growth phase. Your responsibilities will span end-to-end recruitment, from sourcing and closing top-tier talent across engineering, product, GTM, and operations, to managing the entire employee lifecycle including onboarding, performance, and offboarding.

You will also serve as the primary anchor for US policy and compliance, ensuring adherence to federal and California employment laws. This includes driving compensation and benefits strategy, fostering a strong culture of engagement, and building scalable HR infrastructure and tooling. Collaboration with our global HR team to ensure consistent people practices is also key.

We are looking for an experienced HR professional with 3-5 years of experience, preferably within fast-growing tech startups or high-growth US companies. A deep understanding of US and California employment law, alongside robust full-cycle recruiting expertise, is essential.

The ideal candidate is hands-on, process-oriented, and possesses strong employee relations instincts, building trust and handling sensitive situations with discretion. Excellent communication skills, a startup mindset, and the ability to thrive in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment are highly valued. You should be comfortable wearing multiple hats and proactively building what's needed.
