About the role

  • Lead the design, architecture, and implementation of Replit’s core money infrastructure, spanning pricing, billing, payments, and monetization.
  • Own and scale the global order-to-cash foundation supporting credit-based subscriptions, usage-based billing, marketplaces, in-app payments, and commerce for Agents.
  • Enable rapid pricing and packaging experimentation across the company by building flexible abstractions and APIs for new SKUs, plans, and monetization models.
  • Build high-converting, localized payment experiences across geographies — thinking globally while enabling users to pay locally.
  • Power builder monetization by creating payment rails for apps, Agents, subscriptions, and new monetization primitives.
  • Partner closely on data specifications with finance, accounting, and data teams to produce accurate, auditable, and reliable financial data.
  • Collaborate with external monetization and payments partners (e.g. billing platforms, payment processors) to accelerate execution.
  • Create monitoring, observability, and feedback systems to proactively detect issues, resolve failures, and optimize performance across financial flows.
