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 this role: Accelerate engineering velocity and reduce friction in the Replit development experience by stewarding our codebases, tooling, and developer workflows. You will directly impact every engineer who ships code at Replit. By focusing on developer experience, you will act as a force multiplier across all product development teams, enabling faster feature delivery, happier developers, and reduced operational overhead. The role combines the technical depth needed to navigate a complex, polyglot codebase with the product mindset to understand how infrastructure decisions impact developer productivity and ultimately customer value delivery. You will also partner closely with the AI team on our internal AI platform — which already generates more than 60% of all merged PRs at Replit — to improve the Agent's output and help shape strategy around the Agent's default stack. This is an early hire in this area, so you will have agency and have an accelerated career path as the team undoubtedly grows. You will: Maintain and evolve our codebase structure — a complex TypeScript monorepo, Go services, npm packages, and internal Agentic tooling.

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: We're redefining how software is built and who gets to build it. Our mission is to achieve Autonomy for All: making programming accessible, collaborative, and powered by AI. To realize this vision, we need people who are obsessed with understanding how users experience our product and can turn that understanding into decisions that move the needle. You'll directly impact Replit's growth by turning user behavior into actionable insights that shape product strategy, improve activation and retention, and drive sustainable revenue growth across our self-serve and enterprise segments. Who You are You're a data scientist who moves fast and goes deep. You can spin up an analysis in hours that would take others days; not by cutting corners, but because you've built the intuition and technical toolkit to get to the right answer quickly. You're the person who digs past the top-line number to find the confound, questions whether the metric actually measures what people think it does, and pressure-tests your own work before anyone else sees it. You treat experimentation as a craft, not a checkbox. You've felt the pain of underpowered tests and novelty effects, and you have the judgment to get it right. You use AI agents and tools aggressively to multiply your output - writing code, exploring data, generating hypotheses, but you treat every AI-assisted output as a draft, not a deliverable. You know what good analysis looks like and you won't ship anything that doesn't meet that bar. The result is that you operate at a speed and depth that most DS teams can't match. You will: Design and analyze product experiments to evaluate feature launches, onboarding changes, and in-product interventions with rigorous statistical
