About the role

Emergent Labs's standard text

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 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.

Emergent Labs's standard text

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.

Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Lead

The Role

Emergent is scaling a global B2C product used across 190+ countries. We’re looking for a GRC Lead to build and run our compliance program across security, privacy, AI, and consumer protection.

What You’ll Own

  • Certifications & Audits: Own SOC 2, ISO 27001, and related certifications from readiness through audit and renewal.
  • Privacy & Data Compliance: Drive GDPR and global privacy requirements, including data residency, DSARs, DPAs, and records of processing.
  • AI Governance: Define controls for emerging AI regulations, including the EU AI Act, and their application to autonomous code generation and execution.
  • GRC Program: Own policies, controls, evidence collection, vendor/subprocessor risk, and audit readiness.
  • Engineering Partnership: Translate compliance requirements into practical, scalable controls that engineering teams can actually implement.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5 to 7+ years in GRC, security compliance, privacy, or risk
  • Hands-on experience with SOC 2 / ISO 27001
  • Strong understanding of GDPR and global privacy
  • Experience managing audits, vendors, controls, and compliance programs end to end
  • Ability to work closely with Engineering, Security, Product, and Legal teams

What Sets You Apart

  • You think in systems, not checklists
  • Experience with AI governance, EU AI Act, or cloud-native products
  • Comfortable building GRC programs from the ground up
  • Prefer practical, scalable controls over paperwork

Why Emergent

  • Build governance for AI systems that build software
  • Operate at global scale across 190+ countries
  • Work directly with founders and core engineering, security, and product teams
  • Solve emerging challenges at the intersection of AI, security, privacy, and regulation
