Software Engineer/Tech Lead: Developer Tools – Replit

We’re focusing on: building the world’s most ubiquitous programming environment; inspiring creativity and generating value for creators through community; and designing simple yet scalable infrastructure primitives for the next generation of creators. We want to blur the line between learning and making– a place where you can hang out, tinker with ideas, learn new concepts, and launch a business all in the same day.

Your charter is to improve the daily lives of millions of coders using Replit. You’ll improve things like packaging, version control, build toolchains, editor features, debugging, and testing and get to rethink what this looks like for all 50+ coding languages available on Replit. As a Tech Lead on this team you will be responsible for setting direction for projects, communicating priorities, roadmapping (long term investments along with short term wins) and mentoring engineers.
