Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Own end-to-end delivery of Replit's most complex, cross-functional programs, with Agent development as the primary, evergreen focus
  • Drive execution across Product, Eng, Research, GTM, and Leadership—surfacing dependencies, risks, and disagreements early
  • Operate as the technical glue between teams: able to follow architecture decisions, challenge assumptions, and translate tradeoffs without slowing velocity
  • Establish and run program operating cadence (milestones, reviews, decision logs, retros) for long-running bets
  • Use AI, automation, and agent workflows to scale program management (status synthesis, risk detection, incident follow-ups, guardrails, retros)
  • Take on additional high-stakes programs as needed (e.g. Enterprise initiatives, external integrations, priority conflicts)
  • Partner closely with EMs and PMs without duplicating their roles—this role exists where ownership is otherwise fragmented

Requirements

  • 8+ years of TPM experience (or equivalent) with a track record of leading complex, high-impact programs
  • Deep technical fluency in systems like distributed architecture, infrastructure, platform engineering, or AI/ML
  • Clear, direct communication style with strong decision-making skills
  • Thrives in ambiguity and can drive progress independently—this is a high-impact IC role, not the foundation of a TPM organization
  • Preferred Qualifications: Background as an engineering manager or senior engineer
  • Experience leveraging AI tools, agents, or automation to increase execution velocity—we'd love to hear specific examples
  • Values clarity and momentum over process for process's sake
Benefits
  • Competitive Salary & Equity
  • 401(k) Program
  • Health, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
  • Short Term and Long Term Disability
  • Paid Parental, Medical, Caregiver Leave
  • Commuter Benefits
