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.

To reach as many people as possible, platform engineers make Replit run fast on popular devices across the globe. Recent projects include instant package installation using Nix, persisting all filesystem writes even if they don’t happen in the editor, and blocking adult content and malware using DNS. To globally distribute repls, remove the 1GB repl storage limit, and reduce cost, we’re spending early 2022 separating the compute layer from the storage layer.

If composable abstractions, distributed systems, security, reliability, containers, microVMs, filesystems, networking, Go, or Rust fascinate you, we want to hear from you!

To achieve our mission of making programming more accessible around the world, we need our team to be representative of the world. We welcome your unique perspective and experiences in shaping this product. We encourage people from all kinds of backgrounds to apply, including and especially candidates from underrepresented and non-traditional backgrounds.
