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 $100M in ARR and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries. We're backed by Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Google, Lightspeed, Prosus, Together, and Y Combinator.
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, and leaders from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox.
We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.
The Role
We're hiring a Community Intern in San Francisco to work directly with our Community Lead and Head of Marketing, running the systems behind our events and online community, and helping scale our global ambassador program as we launch in cities around the world.
This is a hands-on, in-the-mix role with real ownership from week one. You'll be in the room for how a community-led AI company grows: in person at SF events, and online across Discord, Facebook, and every city chapter we open. If you're excited about AI, small businesses, and bringing people together, on your feet at an event and behind the dashboard that tracks it, keep reading.
What You'll Do: Community Operations
- Event operations: build and manage Luma event pages (copy, registration, reminders), track RSVPs, and run check-in and on-site logistics at SF events, workshops, and mixers.
- Community channels: help run our Discord and Facebook groups day to day. Welcome new members, answer questions, route product issues, and keep conversations healthy and on-brand.
- Member support: respond across channels with speed and warmth, and flag standout builders, stories, and use cases for the content and social teams.
- Content and camera: record product walkthroughs and demos, and co-host the occasional livestream or builder interview.
- Data and reporting: keep community trackers and dashboards current across event attendance, signups, Discord growth, engagement, and UGC captured.
What You'll Do: Scaling the Ambassador Program
- Pipeline: help source, screen, and interview ambassador candidates as we expand to new cities. Review applications, run first-round calls, and prep recommendations for the Community Lead.
- Onboarding and support: onboard new city leads (agreements, Slack, playbook walkthroughs, event calendars) and support them through their first events.
- Events playbook: curate and maintain our global events playbook, turning what works across buildathons, hackathons, and workshops into templates, checklists, and best practices any ambassador can run.
- Global event support: track ambassador events worldwide (recaps, reports, metrics, and content) and help keep quality consistent as the program scales.
- Content capture: capture photos, clips, and stories at SF events, and collect the best UGC from global chapters.
What You'll Use:
Luma, Discord, Facebook Groups, Google Sheets and Docs, Slack, and Notion for the day to day. Canva, CapCut, or OBS when you're capturing and cutting content. You should be comfortable with these already, or quick enough to be running them in week one.
Who You Are:
- Genuinely into AI, startups, and small business, and curious about how non-technical people build with AI.
- A builder yourself. You've vibe-coded a few fun apps or sites and love showing people what's possible. You don't need to be an engineer; you need to ship.
- Comfortable on camera. You can record a walkthrough, hop on a livestream, or interview a builder without freezing up. Energy over polish.
- A strong, friendly writer who can match a community's tone in a Discord reply, an event page, or a recap.
- A clear communicator on calls. You'll be talking with ambassador candidates and city leads around the world.
- Organized and reliable. You keep trackers current and juggle multiple cities' timelines without letting things slip.
- A process thinker. You notice what worked at an event and instinctively turn it into a checklist someone else can run.
- People-oriented and happy on your feet at events, welcoming attendees, solving small problems, and keeping things moving.
- Based in the SF Bay Area and able to work in person at our HQ.
Nice to Have:
- Running or moderating an online community (Discord, Reddit, Facebook groups, campus clubs).
- Event planning, campus organizing, or chapter/club leadership, especially anything multi-city or multi-chapter.
- Interviewing, recruiting, or admissions experience (tour guide, club recruitment, hiring committees all count).
- Something you've built on Emergent or another non-technical coding platform (tell us about it).
- Short-form video or streaming experience (Canva, CapCut, OBS, TikTok/YouTube).
Not for You If:
- You want to sit behind a screen all day. This role lives at events and in the community.
- You're not based in SF or can't be in person at HQ.
- You need a defined process before you start. Here, you'll help write the process.
- AI tools and building aren't already part of how you work.
What You'll Get:
- Direct mentorship from the Community Lead and Head of Marketing, with real ownership from week one.
- A hand in building a global ambassador program from its early days: interviewing, onboarding, and supporting city leads worldwide.
- A front-row seat to community-led growth at an AI company: events, hackathons, buildathons, and partnerships.
- A network of founders, builders, and small business owners across SF and beyond.
- Emergent credits to build your own projects.
- Potential for full-time conversion based on performance.
Benefits and Perks:
- 401(k)
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Unlimited Paid Time Off: take the time you need to recharge and come back refreshed
- Flexible Working Hours: work arrangements that fit your life and commitments
Let's build the future of software together.
