We are backed by industry leading investors including Accel, Naspers/Prosus, Section32, and angels like Sheryl Sandberg and Dustin Moskovitz. Headquartered in Silicon Valley and with offices in London, Bangalore and Vancouver, Ema is at the frontier of what Agentic AI can do in production — we ship real systems that run real business processes at scale. In this role, You Will:

  • Design, develop, and implement exceptional user interfaces for web applications using modern web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and other stakeholders to gather requirements, own the user experience, develop wireframes, and create high-fidelity prototypes.
  • Develop and maintain API integrations, ensuring seamless communication between front-end and back-end systems using React and gRPC.
  • Contribute to back-end development with a focus on creating robust APIs and ensuring smooth communication between the front-end and server using technologies like Node.js or Python.
  • Build, test, and deploy full-stack web applications using React and gRPC, while ensuring responsiveness, performance, and scalability.
  • Optimize web applications for performance, accessibility, and SEO best practices.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve UI and back-end related issues, ensuring a consistent and optimal user experience across multiple platforms and devices.
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code adhering to established coding standards, and deploy/debug using platforms like Vercel.

Ideally You'd Have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Web Development, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
  • A minimum of 4 years of professional experience in full-stack development, with a focus on front-end engineering and API integration.
  • Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with extensive experience in React.
  • Experience with gRPC for client-server communication, and familiarity with RESTful APIs, JSON, XML, and OAuth.
  • Solid understanding of back-end technologies such as Node.js or Python, and experience working with server-side frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Express).
  • Familiarity with version control systems like Git and build/deploy platforms such as Vercel.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a strong commitment to delivering high-quality user experiences across both front-end and back-end.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for variable compensation, equity, and benefits.
