Computers are the most powerful tools to exist in the history of humanity. Today, only a relative few—professional software developers—can use this superpower to its fullest extent. This has created an unbalanced world where there are only programmers and those who consume their programs. Replit wants to change that dynamic by bringing the next billion software creators online.

Some of the highest-impact work at Replit has come from people who are just starting in their careers. That’s why we’re inviting students who have graduated, bootcamp grads, and those that are self-taught, to apply for a full-time position in our platform engineering team. We expect some professional experience for this position (e.g., previous internship, significant contributions to an open-source project, freelancing, etc.). We are looking for teammates who are passionate about programming, thrive on feedback, and are excited to make real contributions to Replit.

In this role, you will help us shape our modular workspace frontend framework. You will help us build the tools and APIs developers need to create their own IDE extensions. Starting with internal Replit developers and later moving towards community developers. Ideas like an integrated debugger, live code editors, or refactoring helpers – we want our creations to be as simple and fun as they can possibly become.

You will also work with the backend infrastructure team to evolve our client-server collaborative protocol. We are looking for someone who is excited about building the infrastructure to support our vision of real-time collaboration. We’re not afraid of big problems and neither should you! As a JavaScript engineer, your code will touch millions of developers around the world (literally). Your work can make or break software development as we know it today.

We’d like someone who has an infrastructure mindset in addition to a developer mindset. In other words, you can write code as well as understand how it’s going to be used in the real world. You can add instrumentation and monitoring to observe the state of the workspace and services involved. Then using that information you can make data-driven decisions about how to build new features or improve the performance of existing ones.
