About the job

About Replit

Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. With millions of users worldwide, Replit is democratizing software development by removing traditional barriers to application creation.

About the Team

Product Platform builds and owns the shared foundations the rest of Replit is built on: backend infrastructure, connectors, product primitives, and the frontend platform. This role goes deep on the frontend platform: the architecture and platform layer behind every core product surface. The work is high-leverage and horizontal, and gives you exposure across the whole of engineering. We are a small, collaborative team that values curiosity and clear thinking over pedigree.

About the Role

As a Product Engineer focusing on the frontend platform, you will own the frontend architecture behind core product experiences: application frameworks, the API and data layer, testing infrastructure, and client performance. The goal is simple: product teams ship quickly and reliably on what you build.

What you'll do

  • Design platform APIs and shared primitives (not just components) with clear contracts, documentation, and upgrade paths that other teams adopt
  • Profile and instrument real user journeys, then ship the changes that move the numbers
  • Roll out cross-cutting changes safely with codemods, migration paths, and staged rollouts
  • Set technical direction in design and architecture reviews, and document the decisions and operational expectations behind them
  • Work directly with product teams to turn their friction into reusable platform improvements

Required skills and experience

  • Experience shipping and operating user-facing software in production
  • Designed frontend architecture other teams build on (frameworks, state, routing, SSR/CSR, migrations)
  • Built and operated an API/data layer (REST/GraphQL, error handling, caching)
  • Measured and improved client performance with instrumentation and monitoring
  • Made and explained architecture tradeoffs across UX, correctness, delivery speed, and maintainability
  • Comfortable in modern web stacks (TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js)

If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary for this role ranges from $200K – $300K, with equity offered. Full-time employee benefits include: competitive salary & equity, 401(k) program with a 4% match (US only), health, dental, vision and life insurance, short term and long term disability, paid parental, medical, caregiver leave, flexible time off (FTO) + holidays, commuter benefits (in-office & US only), monthly wellness stipend, autonomous work environment, in-office setup reimbursement (in-office only), quarterly team gatherings, and in-office amenities (in-office only).
