Back-end Engineer

About Emi Labs

At Emi Labs we are on a mission to increase Frontline Workers’ access to professional opportunities.

This is a 2.7 billion population that accounts for 80% of the world’s workforce. They are digitally invisible, as there’s little to no data available on who they are, their career history, or their skill set, limiting their access to professional opportunities and growth. We're here to transform this by building the infrastructure to make Frontline Workers visible.

Our first step to achieving our mission is to transform the recruiting experience into an easy, human and fair process, for both candidates and companies with high-volume job openings. Emi, our main product, is an A.I. recruitment assistant that enables companies to engage in a conversation with each applicant to detect interested and qualified individuals while saving Recruiters a huge amount of time by automating tasks such as screening, validating skills, scheduling interviews, and collecting documents.

We were part of Y-Combinator's Winter 2019 batch and in 2022 we have raised an $11M funding round co-led by Merus Capital and Khosla Ventures.

About the Hiring Funnel Team

Our team is responsible for modeling and orchestrating the Hiring Funnel the candidates go through when applying for a job. This includes supporting a variety of features so that Emi can adapt to the client's particularities and needs. And, at the same time, improve candidates' experience through the whole process.

This represents Emi’s core value given to the clients. Therefore it’s a core team to enable our plans and achieve our mission of building the infrastructure for frontline workers to access professional opportunities.
