Job description

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

Join our Enterprise Platform team and build the infrastructure foundations that enable the world's largest organizations to run Replit within their security and compliance boundaries. As a Software Engineer on this team, you'll design and implement the deployment flexibility, networking capabilities, authorization systems, and data controls that enterprises require, from single-tenant architectures and private connectivity to custom policy enforcement and customer-managed encryption.

You'll work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and enterprise requirements, partnering with Platform Engineering, Security, and Sales to ship capabilities that unlock adoption at demanding organizations.

What You'll Do

Build enterprise deployment infrastructure: Design and implement single-tenant and dedicated deployment options, enabling customers to run Replit with the isolation guarantees their security posture requires.

• Implement private networking capabilities: Build VPC peering, private connectivity, and static IP configurations that allow enterprises to integrate Replit into their existing network architectures.

• Design authorization services: Build the authorization infrastructure that enforces custom enterprise policies; enabling fine-grained access controls, custom permission models, and policy enforcement that integrates with customers' existing identity and governance systems.

• Ship data protection features: Implement bring-your-own-key (BYOK) encryption, customer-managed keys, and data residency controls that give enterprises ownership over their most sensitive data.

• Develop infrastructure automation: Write Terraform modules and automation that enable reliable, repeatable enterprise deployments across regions and configurations.

• Debug and harden systems: Dive deep into complex infrastructure problems spanning networking, authorization, Kubernetes, and cloud services to make our enterprise platform more robust and diagnosable.

• Partner with go-to-market teams: Collaborate with Sales and Customer Success to understand enterprise infrastructure requirements, scope technical solutions, and unblock deployments.

• Contribute to technical strategy: Help define SLAs/SLOs for enterprise infrastructure reliability; participate in build-vs-buy decisions for complex infrastructure capabilities.

Required Skills and Experience

• 7+ years of experience in Infrastructure Engineering, Platform Engineering, or similar roles.

• Strong programming skills in Go, Typescript or Python; you write high-quality, well-tested code.

• Experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies in production environments.

• Solid understanding of cloud networking: VPCs, peering, private connectivity, load balancers, DNS.

• Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and configuration management.

• Familiarity with authentication and authorization systems: OAuth/OIDC, RBAC/ABAC models, policy enforcement.

• Familiarity with security and encryption fundamentals: TLS, encryption at rest, key management concepts.

• Strong debugging skills with an ability to trace issues across distributed systems.

• Excellent written communication; you can explain technical tradeoffs clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, networking, and IAM.

• Experience building multi-tenant or single-tenant SaaS infrastructure.

• Familiarity with enterprise compliance frameworks (SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA) and how they translate to infrastructure requirements.

• Experience with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK/BYOK) implementations.

• Background in developer platforms, cloud IDEs, or developer productivity products.

This is a full-time role that can be held from our Foster City, CA office. The role has an in-office requirement of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
