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 role Replit is the agentic software creation platform that enables anyone to build applications using natural language. As we scale to support millions of developers and enterprise organizations, maintaining a robust, transparent, and technically sound Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) program is critical. We are looking for a GRC Engineer to serve as a key technical contributor for our compliance and risk management ecosystem. You will architect the systems and processes that automate trust, partnering deeply across the organization. We need a pragmatic operator who understands that GRC exists to enable the business—balancing rigorous standards with the velocity of a high-growth startup. What You'll Do Technical Excellence & Architecture Technical Depth: Act as a technical subject matter expert for the GRC team. You will drive quality, technical depth, and operational efficiency in our security controls. Program Architecture: Own the technical vision for Replit’s GRC program, moving the team from manual workflows toward "Compliance-as-Code" and automated evidence collection. Thought Leadership: Champion a culture of security and privacy across the company, educating teams on why controls exist rather than just enforcing them.

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. The AI Studio is the team responsible for designing, building, and operationalizing internal software platforms across every functional department of the company, including People Operations, Customer Support, Sales, Marketing, Finance, Recruiting, and Executive Operations. We treat each internal department as its own product surface, and in truth as its own startup, with its own customers, its own metrics, and its own reasons for existing. We ship custom software, built on Replit’s own platform, to solve operational problems that off-the-shelf SaaS tools cannot serve well at our scale and pace of growth. Position Summary The Member of Technical Staff (AI Builder) is a full-time builder role with substantial autonomy. You will design, architect, and ship AI-powered internal platforms that run the operations of the company across many departments at once. This is not a role for someone who wants a narrow, well-defined lane. It is a role for someone who wants to walk into an ambiguous business problem, understand it well enough to argue about it with the department lead, and then ship the software that fixes it. We are looking for people who genuinely understand the mechanics of a business: how revenue is actually made, why recruiting velocity matters, what makes support scale or break, how finance closes a month, and why each department is critical to whether the company wins or loses. You do not need to have run every function, but you need to respect why each one exists and be able to reason about it like an operator, not just an engineer. Because we treat each department as its own startup, we strongly favor people who have either run their own business or worked on a fast-scaling startup. You know what it feels like
