Desirable

  • Experience working on cloud infrastructure or platform products, particularly in the areas of application deployment, serverless computing, or container orchestration
  • Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services and tools, such as Google Compute Engine, Cloud Run, or Cloud Storage
  • Contributions to open-source projects related to cloud technologies, deployment frameworks, or developer tools. We love OSS!

What the job involves

  • Join our Platform Engineering Team and help empower millions of developers worldwide to deploy their applications seamlessly
  • We are seeking talented full stack and platform engineers who are passionate about building innovative solutions for application deployment

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement these features, empowering developers with a comprehensive suite of tools to build and deploy their applications efficiently
  • Enhance reliability and performance: Take ownership of the reliability and performance aspects of our deployment stack. Identify bottlenecks, optimize critical paths, and implement robust monitoring and alerting systems. Work closely with our SRE team to ensure high availability and minimal downtime. Enable our customers to seamlessly scale their applications to meet the demands of their growing user base
  • Leverage AI for infrastructure management: Explore and implement innovative ways to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to streamline infrastructure management and maintenance.

Your efforts will directly contribute to the financial efficiency of our cloud

Our take

Young students and workers in the tech industry are constantly being encouraged to add programming to their skill-set portfolio to prepare for a digital future. However, getting started with programming environments can be very difficult, requiring computer science knowledge to even boot the programming environment in the first place.

Replit embeds pre-booted programming environments within web browsers, allowing users to begin coding immediately without having to set up the client. The website supports most popular programming languages such as C++, Javascript, and PHP, in addition to frameworks such as Django and Sinatra. The service can be accessed for free and provides access to everything required to program applications including libraries, tutorials, and collaborative capabilities.

The company has attracted millions of users, including some at major tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Stripe. It has raised considerable funding to spend on hiring talent and further developing its product as it moves to capture more success going forwards.
