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.

We’re looking for a Partner Engineer to operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and strategy. You’ll be the technical lead for our most important strategic partnerships, from architecting integrations, scoping complex systems work, and driving high‑lever collaborations from idea to production.

This is not a support role. You’ll own the technical strategy behind each partnership: evaluating feasibility, designing integration approaches, writing and reviewing code when needed, and leading execution across internal and external engineering teams.

The right person is a strong engineer who wants to apply their technical depth to broader, company‑shaping initiatives, working directly with product partners to identify opportunities, turn ambiguous ideas into concrete technical plans, and ship integrations that meaningfully expand what our platform can do.

• Lead Strategic Integrations End-to-End
  • Serve as the technical lead for our most important strategic partnerships, from early discovery and feasibility through launch and iteration
  • Work directly with engineering and product teams to design practical, scalable integration approaches
  • Scope technical requirements, define success criteria, and drive execution across internal and external teams
• Operate at the Intersection of Engineering and Business
  • Participate in early-stage partnership conversations, helping shape what’s possible together before commitments are made
  • Translate the business goals of two or more companies into concrete technical plans and clearly communicate tradeoffs, risks, and constraints
  • Collaborate with Partnerships, Product, Legal, Sales, and Marketing to bring complex deals to life
  • Collaborate with business and technical teams to showcase the value of joint solutions and suggest architectural patterns to initiate their implementation and development.
• Build High-Leverage Technical Assets
  • Develop demos, proofs‑of‑concept, and reference implementations that unlock new partnership opportunities
  • Improve internal tooling and processes that help us scale how we manage and support integrations
  • Identify patterns across partnerships that should inform core product direction
• Enable and Represent Replit Technically
  • Build trusted relationships with partner engineering and product leaders
  • Represent Replit in technical workshops, joint events, and executive discussions when appropriate
  • Act as the escalation point for complex or high‑stakes technical challenges

• 5‑8+ years of software engineering, dev relations, sales engineering, or partner engineering experience
• Comfortable being the voice of the strategic partner to internal teams to build conviction behind a idea
• Strong proficiency in Python and Java Script
• Knowledge of Vibe Coding tools and traditional developer tools
• Experience with common integrations and APIs

• Business / customer facing roles with a rich technical background
• Knowledge of authentication protocols (OAuth, SAML, JWT)
• Background in SaaS platforms or B2B integrations
