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. Role Summary Replit is the world's most widely used AI coding platform, and as we scale, we're rebuilding how compensation works internally from the ground up. This role owns that. You'll go beyond traditional comp management to architect the systems, data infrastructure, and AI-enabled workflows that make fast, consistent, and high-quality compensation decisions possible at scale. You will serve as the architect of our compensation engine: translating compensation philosophy into scalable systems, and leveraging data, automation, and AI to improve speed, accuracy, and transparency. This role sits at the intersection of compensation, product, and systems design. You will partner closely with People Business Partners, Recruiting, Finance, People Operations, and the Data team to embed compensation directly into company workflows—eliminating manual processes and reducing reliance on comp as a service layer. You will shape how we attract, reward, and retain top talent, while building infrastructure that scales with the business. What you'll own Compensation Strategy Evolve our compensation philosophy across cash and equity; design and maintain salary bands, leveling frameworks, and equity structures Ensure market competitiveness while partnering with Finance on cost and workforce planning AI-Native Workflows Design and implement AI-enabled workflows for offers, merit, promotions, and market adjustments Build human-in-the-loop validation frameworks to audit AI-generated recommendations for bias, accuracy, and logic Decision Support & Analytics Operate compensation planning cycles and generate first-pass recommendations for comp decisions Build dashboards and analytical frameworks covering market competitiveness, interna

At Linear, we're building the product development system for teams and agents. AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we’re shaping the tools this new era requires. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for more than 40,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America, Europe, and Australia, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship. Quality is our competitive advantage. Every member of our fully remote team is a maker at heart, caring deeply about the quality and feel of our work. While the industry optimizes for speed and metrics alone, we believe that craft and quality have lasting value.

For this role, we expect robust design skills, sharp product thinking, and the ability to engage in technical discussions. We work in small, autonomous project teams, where engineers are paired tightly with designers to explore ideas, build prototypes, deploy internal builds, and ultimately ship to customers. You will be a key element of projects from beginning to end. Location & work mode Linear is a remote-first company, with optional co-working offices in San Francisco, New York, and London. This role is open to candidates based in North America. You can work from anywhere within this region. We value deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel. What you'll do Pair closely with engineering and product to initiate and complete roadmap projects, no hand-offs Spot opportunities to redesign or refine key screens and flows, as well as smaller quality issues an
