Overview
About Replit
We’re focusing on: building the world’s most ubiquitous programming environment; inspiring creativity and generating value for creators through community; and designing simple yet scalable infrastructure primitives for the next generation of creators. We want to blur the line between learning and making– a place where you can hang out, tinker with ideas, learn new concepts, and launch a business all in the same day.
About the role
Your charter as a Software Engineer on the Workspace/IDE team is to improve the core software creation experience on Replit, while also enabling other engineers to expand Replit’s power. You’ll work directly on core features like the editor and window management. You’ll also build infrastructure to make coding a multiplayer experience and rethink how software version control should work.

- Make coding a more collaborative experience by building multiplayer infrastructure and features
- Enable other Replit teams to quickly ship new AI-powered features like Generate Code
- Work closely with designers to ship new Bret Victor-inspired feedback mechanisms.
- Make the core user experience better for everybody by improving stability and crushing key bugs
You will…
- Build the core product surface of Replit: the Workspace. This is where users build their code, their development environment, and view their code running.
- Enable teams at Replit to build features like extensions, multiplayer, threads, and more.
- Ship features and build infrastructure using: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, NodeJS, and CodeMirror 6.
You are…
