Job details:
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, who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Claypond, Sentinel Global, 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, 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 looking for a seasoned HR Business Partner to work closely with leadership and function heads as we scale rapidly across India and the US. This is a high-ownership role for someone who has built and run core people programs at scale: compensation and payroll, benefits design, organization design and restructuring, and market benchmarking. You will act as a strategic advisor to business leaders while also rolling up your sleeves to build the HR foundations of Emergent as it scales.
What You'll Do:
- Partner with function heads and leadership as a trusted advisor on all people matters, including org health, team structures, and workforce planning
- Lead organization design and restructuring initiatives: role definitions, leveling frameworks, spans and layers, and team realignments as the company scales
- Own compensation programs end-to-end: salary structures, pay bands, increment and promotion cycles, and equity/ESOP administration
- Drive compensation benchmarking using market data (e.g. Pave, Mercer, Aon) to keep Emergent competitive for top-tier talent in India and the US
- Design, evaluate, and manage employee benefits programs (insurance, leave policies, perks, wellness) and continuously improve them based on employee feedback and market practice
- Oversee payroll operations in partnership with Finance, ensuring accuracy, statutory compliance (PF, ESI, gratuity, income tax), and timely processing
- Build and refine HR policies, processes, and systems that scale with headcount growth
- Lead performance management cycles, including goal-setting, reviews, calibration, and outcomes
- Manage employee relations matters with sound judgment, confidentiality, and fairness
- Use HR analytics to drive decisions: attrition analysis, compensation analytics, org metrics, and leadership dashboards
- Support change management during periods of rapid growth, restructuring, or new market expansion
What We're Looking For:
- 8 to 12 years of progressive HR experience, with at least 3 to 4 years in an HRBP or HR leadership capacity at a high-growth startup or technology company
- Deep hands-on experience in compensation design, payroll management, and benefits administration in India
- Proven track record of leading org design and restructuring exercises
- Strong command of compensation benchmarking methodologies and market data tools
- Solid understanding of Indian labor laws and statutory compliance requirements
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and founders
- Highly analytical, comfortable with data, spreadsheets, and HR systems
- Bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to build from scratch in a fast-moving environment
- MBA/PGDM in HR or an equivalent qualification preferred
Benefits and Perks:
- Daily Meals: Lunch and Dinner provided
- Family Insurance: 3 Lakhs worth of coverage for you and your family
- 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
